Mubarak may have restrained from using force to save his own skin
My understanding is that he did order the military to attack the protesters, and they refused. At that point, his focus probably shifted to just getting out alive.

I'm guessing that, like the Tunisian president, part of the delay was loading the gold into his vehicles for departure. When fleeing despots flee, they take the original monetary unit with them. Universally accepted, not subject to government induced devaluations and virtually untraceable : Gold.
- code_duck 16y agoI'd imagine Mubarak has plenty of of Euros and USD in Swiss bank accounts, which he probably was working on transferring to backup accounts for the past few weeks.
