im sure all the actual protesters out there suffering and dying for their cause would appreciate people from other stable countries at their computer labelling their movement
I think this is clearly a sea change.
No matter what the former alliances that we or our allies have lost, free people's will always be less of a threat to the US than the subjects of tyrants that we support. It is worth noting that our best friends (behind Israel) in the Middle East, namely Saudi Arabia and Egypt, produced 100% of the highjackers who attacked the US on 9/11/2001. We have been buying only a peace for Israel, not a just political landscape for the Arabs. Now we have a chance at both.
I've heard it called the Jasmine Revolution, mainly by The Economist.
love the Economist
