The thing I find revealing in Obamma's comments is that in a true democracy, time shaves the edge off of radicalism. In a democracy you have elections. Egypt's elections are in six months. What's to gain by Obamma demanding Mubarak step down now? Islamic community organizers need to get comfortable with the fact that Mubarak not running for re-election is his stepping down. An orderly transition is something which needs the departing body to impart it's business, records, policy goals, legal matters, foreign policy, and military command onto the new body. It's a process, not a stoning.
