And since both were done quite openly, the WT AS know that Egwene thinks the Hall in the Tower was stupid, and is confident enough of her support among the Rebels to make them accept this superficial gesture of reconciliation.

I think the whole thing was a very deplomatic way of saying:
"The loyalists screwed up. The Rebels were correct. We've won over you, but don't want to rub that in your face, so we'll be large-hearted and "apologize" to you."

The Tower Hall did not retaliate or show too much anger because
a) They knew they were already accepting defeat when they invited her to become Amyrlin (it was a tacit admission that her time as Rebel Amyrlin wasn't fully illegal, since if it was, they were bound by law to still her. Elaida's argument that she was duped wouldn't quite wash in this situation).
b) They had already eaten humble pie by letting in her army and commanding theirs to submit to her general. What's one sharp speech to them?
c) However weird it may seem, Egwene was damned right. They did indeed fail the Tower, and the resulting disaster was a gaping hole in the Hall's wall that was framing Egwene. Hard to argue with that.


Not really. She's not saying the Salidar faction was wrong at all. Like she said Siuan, she doesn't want them to say they are sorry they left. Which means she's fully accepting that they had every right to leave when they did. It is merely a continuation of her speech to the BA hunters where she tells them they were wrong to depose Siuan, and the Rebels were right to oppose that action.

By asking the Rebels to make a formal apology to her, and not the Tower AS, she made it quite clear that this was merely a superficial act, meant to act as a balm to heal relations. No one was fooled. the Rebels came into the Tower in an ascendant position, and the way Egwene thinks of Lelaine and Romanda in the epilogue, it is clear they enjoy a very great deal of influence in the Hall.

I'm fairly certain that they Rebels, while surprised at this move, accept it and aren't pissed that Egwene demanded it of them.

That is nonsense. She gave them the backbone to move from Salidar and actually besiege Tar Valon. She is the main reason the Rebellion continued and succeeded!

She is, however, not a hypocrite because she admitted to the WT Hall that she too was not without blame since she sided with the Rebels (since she made it clear she chose to side with the Rebels and could be held accountable for it, your argument that she wasn't part of it is invalid anyway).

This doesn't seem right, and I'm sure no one saw it this way. An Amyrlin doesn't have a right to hypocrisy.

This, of course, is the primary motive of her actions, and is as such a laudable one.

Nope. Not at all.
