Metaman, I really recommend you to talk to someone who has lived / worked on Middle East. My brother was in Iraq and we spoke a lot about the things there.
One thing you may not know, working in military or police gives you tremendous advantages compared to civilians in those countries. So ironically, many of those guys don't fight for the ideology, they fight just to feed their family.
People get shocked by a situation in Egypt, that's outrageous they say. Ironically, very few cared for Rwanda, just to name a example. When I was serving in army I saw some photos taken there, from first line. I can tell you , in no other war in 20-30 years I saw so much cruelty as there.
What I'm saying is we are served stories / government overthrows like small children. Don't you think it's a weird coincidence that suddenly Mubarak needs to leave suddenly? I bet it's a puppet show of either US, or Israel or some Saudi interests.
And when saying civilized people don't need police...... you might be failing to realize that it takes only one un-civilized person to cause huge damage and misery. So saying police is redundant is a naive way of thinking that all people will get along. it's not the institution itself, but the puppeteers behind who make it serve them.
I rather think people confuse police / military with interests that stand behind them
