Egypt's president says he may move to protect nation

This article discusses the political unrest that is prevalent in Egypt. In a recent violent demonstration, at least 200 people were injured. This tragedy is leading the president to do whatever it takes to protect his country, explains the journalist using logos and pathos. The journalist includes quotations from the country's first freely elected president's twitter page. The journalist then uses logos to explain the president's plans for action in order to protect and repair the nation and hopefully prevent future violent discontent between political groups. These ideas include holding those people accountable who are using the media, such as twitter, television, etc, in order to incite violence, and he also will take "'appropriate measures'" against those politicians who were behind the violence that recently took place. The president does realize that some of these measures may be controversial, especially because of the high status of some of these politicians. The journalist then discusses previous demonstrations that have occurred within recent months, such as one political group called "Brotherhood" painting offensive graffiti, which prompted a violent and demonstrative protest from Brotherhood opposition. Supporters of the Brotherhood also assaulted reporters. Egypt's president, Morsi, is realizing the destruction that these disagreements between political groups is causing for the country. Therefore, he will conduct investigations regarding some of the recent violence and protests, and he "'will not be happy if investigations find some politicians guilty.'" The journalist concludes the article with a combination of logos and pathos when he describes that the most recent political clash in Egypt is the most violent since December. Then the journalist includes information about graphic images of injured men from these demonstrations, giving the impression of "a nation torn by strife." The journalist's last statement describes what he believes to be the nature of much of the conflict: disagreements between Morsi himself, Islamist supporters, moderate Muslims, secular Egyptians, liberal Egyptians, Christians, and women. So many clashing political and social groups within one unsteady nation is leading to what has potential to be the nation's complete destruction.
