Room For Debate hashes out Mubarak's trial. Nathan Brown's thoughts:
[T]he arrest and prosecution of Mubarak and several members of his family has become something of a proxy for a struggle between the revolutionary coalition and the military junta. While relations between army generals and street leaders are still correct — and both sides anxious to avoid a full confrontation — nerves are fraying. The revolutionaries are still uncertain that their movement has triumphed and they remain very suspicious of any attempts to postpone their demands. They can still rally supporters around the issue of serving justice to old regime figures and have thus used it to goad a dawdling military leadership into action.
Tik Root suspects that the trial "be a uniting force" for Egypt in the short run but that "Egypt faces so many other potentially divisive challenges that the effects of the trial are likely to fade."
