Welcome to the world of Military Totalitarianism Egypt.
It's normal for the army to take control of a country after the head of state is driven away, since that's the only professional organization without noobs. (I chose the word noob carefully here!
)The army will give back their power after elections have been held.
True, they can always start abusing their power, but that would be a total failure for Egypt. Don't forget 40% of Egypt's income is made of tourism, lots of tourists won't come and visit a country ruled by a general of the army, abusing power.
Even Mubarak was smart enough to give up his general rank when he became president.
Also don't forget, they have the whole world is watching over their shoulder... America with Obama will never accept the military taking over control, and Egypt's army is heavily funded by America (+/- 1 billion per year). So the army won't take over and abuse their temporary power.
