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.

          A Tipping Point for Oil Prices
          By CLIFFORD KRAUSS
          Most economists think that while high by historical standards and an impediment to growth, oil prices are not high enough to completely derail the economic recovery. But if prices go much higher, all bets are off.

                                        PoliticsEgypt: Digital Revolution: With Mubarak gone, army is the state power


                                        Reuters carries a full page of pictures with captioning lead-ins to stories on the big changes in Egypt.  The scrolldown spread is a good way to orient yourself to the most recent events, implications, and conundrums of the Digital Revolution in the Arab world's most populous country.


                                        The main question now is:  what role, what status for the Muslim Brotherhood and the impositon of Sharia Law in Egypt?  A Norwegian Muslim democrat gives his view of the dangers the MB brings to Europe and we can only imagine regarding the game they will play against democracy and freedom in Egypt.  his views are presented on Dokumente2, Norwegian television, in Norwegian language with English subtitles.

                                        Another answer to the main political question in Egypt today is that presented in the Jerusalem Post a few days back:
