I hope Egypt ends up a secular republic based on democratic voting with freedom and justice for all that doesn't wage war on Israel.

That's what Egypt ostensibly was, though the people never fully appreciated it, and allowed it to be ruled by autocrats. Gee, isn't that what we're seeing happening here?

Now, 5 years down the road, they may remember Mubarak with some fondness.

Do you know what “ostensibly” means?

Yah. In a few years, they might be looking back on Mubarak's rule a the good ol' days.
