I can see peter's POV - while Mubarak is an unpleasant character, if he is overthrown, will the people of Egypt be better off? I don't know. Saddam was a much nastier character, but are the people of Iraq better off now that he is gone? I don't know. Were the people of Russia better off after the Tsar was overthrown in 1917? Not so sure. Were the people of Russia better off when Communists were in turn overthrown? Not so sure. These things are rarely black & white...
