No. Go read up on it.
The Military own a lot of the businesses and Commerce. The threat of a General Strike was what made them kick Mubarek out. What happens now is what matters. Will the West continue to pour money into the coffers of the Generals, will the Country keep on the same course, will it turn into a Islamic Revolution, what's the next country to try this?
This is just the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. The End Game is a long way off.
