Meet the New Bosses, Same as the Old Bosses; Egyptian Edition

Protesters calling for Egypt's military to hand over power have beaten back a new raid by security forces to evict them from Cairo's Tahrir Square after more than 48 hours of violence in the heart of the Egyptian capital.

Security forces fired tear gas and attacked a makeshift field hospital on Monday morning, while protesters broke up pavements to hurl chunks of concrete at police.
The Egyptian military has no intention of submitting to civilian rule. They've pretty much had it their own way for the last sixty years. It seems that the Egyptians are realizing that forcing Mubarak out of office did not mean that they also forced out the regime.
