There was an interesting commentary on the BBC a couple of days ago that in time, we might look at this phase of change and reminicent of both the French and Russian Revolutions of before.

This is more in line with impact than, for example, beheading the king.

How goes internet access in Yemen? I don't know what triggered the one in Tunisia but the internet definitely was a large factor in bringing people's dissatisfaction to light.

I don't think they have restricted Internet access as Iran did, perhaps they thought its too late.

It is time opportunity was spread more evenly.

Unfortunately for too long the west has looked out over a world where a 'poverty of opportunity' is being employed in order to control the masses, and support kleptocracies and dictatorships.

The people of Zimbabwe are not starving, despite millions of tons of UN grain in warehouses, by accident!

p.s. And what are the UN doing about Mugabe? Oh! Oh! Nothing you say?
