#1 What will we do about it?
Let's run it by a focus group and try out a few answers with the right people. If all is well, perhaps a series of polls, then a strategic leak or two.

#2 Some will bang their heads and pray five times a day.
The problem is that failure is rarely a point event. Egypt will, with the help of useful idiots, maintain the form of a nation while it rots from the inside. Even at the end there will be a fossilized skeleton for the elites of the west to genuflect to.

#3 'What will we do about it?'
Sorry, Dr. Steve, but most Americans are more concerend about their own country and trying to keep IT together; and while the Egyptian end-game doesn't look particularly bright, I don't see a lot of Giveadamn Meters twitching.
Loss of all the various treasures from ancient days is about the only tangible thing that give me pause.
Like us, the Egyptians deserve the government they get.

#5 The only thing we can (or should) "do about it" is to bribe arrange to have as many of their museum treasures as possible conveniently placed in storage in a safe country far from Africa; too bad about the Pyramids.
And - if any of our country's ships are still using the Suez Canal - start planning for protection when they have to go the long way.

#7 Do? Why, ship them more jet fighters and tanks, of course.

#9 Seven fat cows versus seven lean or thin cows, + no Joseph to save the land or Pharoah or the People.
Why, because the Revolution = "Arab/Muslim/
Islamic Egyptian Spring" decided they didn't need such - CONGRATULATIONS, DA PLAN WORKED, THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED OR SCHEMED, SO WHATS THE PROBLEM!?
