The last part of your post is the best part Transplant. I always worry about what I call third world militaries. The fact that they didn't step in on the governments behalf tells me that they were equally frustrated by Mubarak's rule.
But the longer the protesters stay on the street and the more the economy slides always makes me think that there's some Colonel sitting in an office with a few other officers who have absolute loyalty in their units who are now talking about how the country and the people need order.
The longer there's a vacuum on top the more you begin to fear that the Military becomes the third leg in the power struggle.
