The army made a statement that they would not use violence against civilians. In fact, they are being asked to join the people and help get rid of Mubarak and his regime.
From the discussions I've heard and read, if Mubarak leaves that may be good for Egypt but perhaps not so good in terms of US relations. Mubarak would leave a vacuum that would likely be filled by the Muslim Brotherhood.
I'm going to be reading up on this a bit as I can, hopefully I will have some good links to put up. In the meantime, pretty much every news agency is running stories about Egypt so it's easy to check up on.
