Return of the revolution? Egyptians protest again but this time against new 'hated' president

They said they wanted him, now they don't want him again. What exactly do they really want? Life!!!
Thousands of opponents and supporters of Egypt's Islamist president have turned out in their masses for a nationwide protest which many fear could turn deadly. 
Waving Egyptian flags, crowds descended on Tahrir Square in the heart of Cairo, one of a number of sites in the capital and around the country, where rallies have been organised. 
Chants of 'erhal' or 'leave!,' have rang out in the square, birthplace of the 2011 uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

On the other side of Cairo, thousands of the Islamist leader's supporters gathered not far from the presidential palace in a show of support. 
Some wore homemade body armour and construction hats and carried shields and clubs.
Already at least seven people, including American student Andrew Pochter, 21, have been killed in clashes the past week, mainly in Nile Delta cities and the coastal city of Alexandria.

This is exactly how President Mubarak was toppled, now the same game is playing out against President Morsi.
If you live by the sword, be ready to die by the sword.
