Wouldn't you be if all you got was a change of faces but the same regime after a revolution?
As an AmeriKan I understand the feeling.
"Clashes show anger remains in Egypt; More than 1,000 people injured" by Hamza Hendawi, Associated Press / June 30, 2011
CAIRO — Two days of street battles between security forces and protesters in Cairo show how volatile Egypt remains five months after the popular uprising that ousted authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak.
More than 1,000 people were hurt in the unrest Tuesday and yesterday, driven by discontent over the slow pace of justice for old regime figures accused of corruption and killing protesters.
The clashes in Tahrir Square — the worst since the 18-day uprising — add a new layer to an already painful and chaotic transition from Mubarak’s regime to democratic rule under the supervision of the military.

It's the shit journalism that makes me unhappy.
The violence will likely set back efforts to empower the discredited police to fully take back the city’s crime-ridden streets after they melted away during the early days of the uprising, which began Jan. 25.
Additionally, it will almost certainly deepen the distrust felt by many Egyptians toward the 500,000-strong security forces blamed for the worst human rights abuses during Mubarak’s 29-year rule.
Gigi Ibrahim, one of the protesters, said security forces rained tear gas on them.
“It was like January 25 again,’’ she said. “The protesters have enough anger, either because change has not come or because the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces hasn’t done enough’’ to meet their demands....
In addition to discontent over serving justice to Mubarak and stalwarts of his regime, the country is plagued by a dramatic surge in crime and divided by a debate on whether a new constitution should be drafted before or after parliamentary elections, which are due later this year.
There were an estimated 6,000 protesters at the peak of the riots Tuesday. Tahrir Square was closed to traffic for most of yesterday, and about 1,500 protesters remained on the streets.

"Amnesty International said yesterday that Egypt’s military rulers have acknowledged carrying out so-called virginity tests on female protesters — the first time the army has admitted to the much-criticized practice.
Major General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, a member of the military council ruling Egypt since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, justified the tests as a way to protect the army from rape allegations, Amnesty said....

I guess rape still carries a stigma.

"Local councils in Egypt ordered dissolved" June 29, 2011|Associated Press
CAIRO -- An Egyptian court yesterday ordered the dissolution of more than 1,750 municipal councils, seen as one of the last vestiges of Hosni Mubarak's rule.
The administrative court decision, announced by presiding Judge Kamal el-Lamei, meets a major demand of the protest movement that drove Mubarak from the presidency.
You happy now?
The local councils, with over 50,000 seats filled by elections widely viewed as rigged, were a backbone of support for Mubarak's ruling party....

Time for another revolution until the rulers get it right.
