It looks like Mubarak is toast, but he's just a figurehead anyway. The military is the real power behind the throne. The military hand picked the last four Presidents of Egypt, who have ruled for some 50 years.
As for the peace treaty, it means diddly squat whether it stays or goes. 22 other Arab countries have no peace treaty with Israel, and this taxpayer is damned glad they don't. If they all cost what this one does, the total would come to $92 billion annually.
