9 Months after the first Tahrir Square protests in Cairo, Egypt against the regime of Mubarak the people are back on that same square protesting again. This time against what they call the Military Junta. When Mubarak was removed from office the army took over as a temporary measure, to restore law and order and such important things, but let's be honest, whenever an Army has taken over as a temporariry measure it has never been temporary. In the old Egypt the Army was already powerful and in the new Egypt it is even more powerful. And power is not something that is given up easily or without a fight. We wish the people of Egypt well.
