99.5% of the security experts don't matter - they aren't in elected/appointed positions where they represent the people of this nation. Presidents and high-ranking members of the last few administrations (like Sec of State) - people who DO speak for the nation - all heaped praise and monetary aid on Mubarak.
The rest of your comment is baffling. It seems that you're advocating that we pick a starting line, amass all of our fighting-capable men and women, and march around the globe slaughtering everyone who gives us the hairy eyeball to make it safer for us. Just as we've seen over and over in Afghanistan, 100 acts of kindness can be overturned with 1 act of recklessness or hatred. Where there were 1,000 neutral parties, you've now created 500 who want to harm you. This makes no one safe.
I can live just fine knowing that there may be someone out there who hates me for no good reason and who may try to kill me if they had the chance. Why can't you? Why do you allow yourself to be terrified all the time?
And if the only way you can feel safe is to kill others, than you have, by definition, made many others increasingly unsafe. It's wrong at minimum, evil at its worst.
