    The American media needs to step back and not fuel the fires of the unrest in Egypt. Can't you see that every time you have a reporter on camera the protestors jump in front or hype up the yelling? Many are laughing and are too young to realize they may be asking for real problems if they want the leader to leave immediately. They need to be careful what they ask for.. They are loving it. Stop bringing the American administration into this and let the negotiators and politicians who really know what is going on help solve this. They know that a reasonable, planned change to democracy is the best way. The leader is obviously going to leave sooner or later but a rushed exit could cause anarchy. Your comments and assumptions add nothing at all to solving the problem. There are other things going on in the world too you know.
