Mubarak was a partner in #1 and a failure in #2 which when that chanting started, put #3 in risk.
Now, we might be in a situation where we have some level of #2, we're likely to lose some in #1 and #3 is stabilized.
Egypt was worst-case scenario becuase any revolution there risked all the variables on a slider bar.
