want to bring into our conversation here, former ambassador to egypt, daniel kertzer who is here with us. thank you for being with us again. one of the questions i asked you yesterday is the country of 80 million people. we have seen a lot of people, thousands in the streets protesting against the government there. but there's probably a good chance a lot of folks support mubarak. what do you make of what we're seeing on the streets today? >> it's a delicate dance. the demonstrators proved over the course of ten days they've got massive public support. but as one of the people on the street just said, enough may be enough for a large majority of the population that does want to see change but doesn't want to see the country descend into chaos. the egyptian military, i think is trying to find that right balance by urging mubarak as was evident last night in his statement, to declare he's not going to run for re-election. but also to allow this to happen with dignity. that he leaves office on time and is not pushed out.
