Dyer tends to be pretty on the nose about things. He says Hosni Mubarak is done, and he'll be leaving Egypt soon.
So what happens once Mubarak leaves? Nobody knows, because nobody is in charge of this revolution.One thing that's come clear - Western governments, including our own, who have not dared to risk their favoured relationships with the friendly dictators who run the place now, will not be asked for advice when Egypt forges a new path. Let's at least be wise enough to give full-throated support to the democratic process, so that even if a government not to our liking emerges, Egyptians will retain the tools to replace them without going to this week's extraordinary measures.
Edited to add, Feb 5: In answer to the title question, I don't.
