The Solution To Egypt's Predicament Is Not Violence

I agree that violence is not the answer, but one must keep in mind that you are dealing with the military, and militaries only know how to speak 1 language: force & violence. 

Plus, they have the weapons and that just motivates them to not negotiate or compromise with anyone.

The important question to ask is: how long will the protesters remain non-violent?

Human nature dictates that a person or any creature, can only take so much abuse before they begin to defend themselves or retaliate.

The more innocent blood the military/police spill, the greater the chances that the people will take up arms and defend themselves.
