It is confusing. I think both the security police and the army report to Mubarak, and he ordered both into action. I think the aggressive action against the demonstrators has all been by the police.
And there have been many reports that the army is the most trusted by the people, and also some reporters say the army officers will consider their own long-term best interest in deciding how far to go to keep Murbarak in power.
Lot of Egyptians calculating what's in their own best interest as they decide what to do or not do. Third world cloak and dagger stuff.
As messed up as things are for us now, I thank God I am an American.
I just don’t get these people, which is probably why I am a Tea Party (we are ALL the leader). I see us heading down that same damn right is wrong, left is right, up is down road.....and I don’t like it one bit!
Every bone in my body feels the need to fight it.
