to date USA spent millions dollars for de-concentration of power and democratization, it resulted in nothing,
Americans put lot of effort to gain popularity in Egypt (especially former president Carter), it is ineffective,
Egypt is becoming first Arab country signing peace with Israel,
Conclusions:
any pressure putted on democratization or transparency will be seen as an insult,
Egyptians see themselves as rising international power, who resents US and don't need foreign aid,
US doesn't have any control over Egypt and wont have any leverage to force Egypt to do anything against its will,
Egypt will not slide into chaos, even after change of regime,
Prescription:
Sending aid to transform the country without conditionalities, expect benefits from growing economic relation and no sympathy from Egyptians.
