In Egypt,Egyptian Revolution, or Coup d'etat?What does it mean for the US?Are we there for no reason?was it worth it?

So the crisis in egypt has moved from the front page in the newspapers and 24/7 cycle cable news networks ,and we'll have to wait and see what really happens with the political situation that right now seems to point to democratic elections in the near future.We don't know the degree of involvement of the US government before the situation erupted, to what degree the US was encouraging the uprising or if the movement on their own just thought that they would have the support of an administration that had visited Egypt and made an important showcase speech there.The example however seems to be spreading rapidly through the region and there is absolutely no way of knowing what the end result will be and what the political map of the region will look like in the near future or in a few years.And now the debate in the US revolves around the effect of the turmoil and how it will affect our interests in the region and in our economy, this seems very logic if you are an american, and you were born and raised here,so you can't even grasp the reality of the situation because one of the factors that has contributed to the making of America(and I must point out that the mere referring to the US as America is already an erroneous nomenclature since Central and South Americans are just as Americans as we are) as a superpower is the fact of us thinking of ourselves as exceptional and a force for good in the world which has been true in some instances but as everything in the universe not in others.This belief has resulted in us as a people not really caring what the rest of the world thinks without even being consciously aware we think that way because we have a very limited awareness of the world outside our borders which we see only as supporting actors in a movie in which America has the lead role,may be the factor we need to change in order to be able to continue being the superpower we have been and still are,but will be differently in the future if at all.To demonstrate the reality of this suffices to watch any newscast or comment on the incidents in Egypt and how the analyst will opine on what we should be doing about it,what our intervention should be, which faction should we help to be in power so it would be less harmful to our interests(of course in the understanding that since we know better it would benefit at the same time the local population).This if seen from the optic of anybody outside our country and the way we analyze it , believe you me is totally and completely insane and therefore it only leaves us with the power of our possible military intervention , or our economic sanctions that in today's world economy are less feared than in the past as evidenced by the way despicable regimes like Iran and North Korea disrespect us.And at the same time it deprives us of the power of reason,and of having the leading voice that the only superpower should have in the world stage,if supported by a strong group of allies that wouldn't feel they are just carrying the water for the benefit of the American politician that is trying to weasel his way into the White House at the time. The truth is,ultimately the people of Egypt should decide what political system should govern their country ,without any foreign intervention ours or our enemy's and I don't use the term lightly because there are forces in the middle east that are our enemies and vie for our destruction and wish to do us harm,but in the end the best possible result for us is to be able to have in Egypt either an ally which we can trust and have a fruitful interaction for both sides or a respectful adversary that has been let known that we won't dictate their internal political destiny but will respond with swift and overwhelming force to an aggresion, military or economic.
