Thank you for uploading. I have a question. Was it really the army that called on people to organize the committees? Or was it already happening?
I ask because here in the West, liberals who oppose Mubarak but also oppose popular revolution are painting the army as an enlightened, noble force. I have a hard time believing the military leadership is pro-democracy. I suspect they cannot do anything because the rank-and-file will turn on them. Is this true?
