There are some other differences between now and then.

Mubarak actually is a dictator.

He isn't being opposed on grounds that he arrests men for murdering their wives.

I'm pretty sure Carter Part Deux hasn't spent his entire Presidency up to now giving messages of sympathy and support to the rebels who are "only pursuing freedom of religion". For one thing, someone would have to tell Obama to think that.

I'll grant you those, but in the context of what's going on in Egypt (which is essentially a copy of what is continuing to happen in Tunisia) I don't see those differences as significant. YMMV.

Part of the context I'm looking at is that the alienation of Egypt is also not the diplomatic cataclysm that losing Iran to Stone Age barbarians was.

At least, as long as President "I'm-not-a-Moslem-I-just-enjoy-kissing-their-asses" doesn't get stupider than he is about Israel. Lose that, and the Caliphate stretches from the Indus to the Atlantic.

The last time that happened it took Genghis Khan and the Black Plague to end the Dark Age.
