PoliticsEgypt: Revolution: Khaled Said, recovering from Army's attack on protesters in latest round, expresses 'cautious trust' again
The Facebook face of the Egyptian student revolution 'We are all Khaled Said' says
"My trust in the army was shaken after yesterday's events. It was awful & most protesters felt betrayed by the army that promised NEVER to attack us. The army's apology has helped. It's the first time ever someone ruling Egypt apologises for a mistake. Mubarak always accused victims of being the attackers. I now have a cautious trust in the Army. That's my own personal view on the situation."
What else can he say? -- to lose trust definitively woud land the distrusters in whole new stage of development of the revolution. Or shrinking back into quietism, perhaps. It's a tricky and worrisome dilemma to have to face and with which to cope in the present endeavour.
