The Obama administration is discussing with Egyptian officials a proposal for president Hosni Mubarak to resign immediately, The New York Times reported on Thursday
Under the proposal Mr Mubarak would turn power over to a transitional government headed by newly appointed vice president Omar Suleiman with the support of the Egyptian military, the Times said, citing administration officials and Arab diplomats.

First of all let me say, why? Why do we (U.S.) always feel that it's our duty to go and help other countries when there are plenty people here that need help too? I feel Egypt can handle themselves. They don't need big brother U.S. to come and save them!

Because who ever gets a foothold in Egypt determines the course of human history in a big way. If the Muslim Brotherhood get ahold of the country - and right now it looks like they will - then they want Sharia law .. and that's bad for every human on the planet, Muslim or not.
I see no good options from those being put forth. I hope the Egyptian people dont' get railroaded into taking The Muslim Brotherhood's guy .. or anyone else's guy .. and they can find their own guy.

I agree with the OP. Why is the US always involved (seemingly unilaterally)? Why not let the UN deal with any plans to replace Mubarak?

maybe you should ask the CIA how many
people have been murdered or assassinated
at the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood.
From the research I have done, they def were
involved with the assassination of Anwar Sadat,
Mubarek's predecessor.
And it is not only the blood they have spilled
in the past, it is also the blood they intend
to spill in the future.

Seems to be no such thing as a genuine people's revolution these days if the options for change are all crooked in some ways.
