Me neither !
At any rate they - the Egyptians - seem to be doing what we - Pakistanis - did so many times over our 65 year history; something that even our Chief of Army Staff alluded to when he talked about the game of hide & seek played in Pakistan between Military Takeovers & Democracy - Didn't work out too well for us ! The Institutions never got built, the democratic process never had the time to mature in terms of creating grass-root level awareness & most certainly the inherent inflexibility of Military Regimes never helped but instead ended up politicizing our Army (which we've paid with dearly !).
At any rate - I wouldn't presume to tell a sovereign country what they should or should not do; its their call - their risks & their rewards !
I remember actually we kicked out the last leader of Hong Kong, an annoying guy called Tung Chee Hwa.
After his many failures, Hu Jintao flew over to scold him in public, and then Tung Chee Hwa ended up resigning.
Though of course, nowhere near as dramatic as the Egyptian one. I don't think it was even a big story in the international news at the time.
