This unrest can be traced back to the second Iraq War. It was reported that the Arab League met shortly after the Iraqi people held the first free election(remember the purple finger) and one of the outcomes of that meeting was an agreement by most of the 22 Arab states to have some sort of input from the people. There were going to give the people a little taste of democracy. When do the people revolt? They revolt not when they are being repress the most but when the people get a taste of freedom. When Eastern Europe started to see a little bit of freedom they revolted and toppled the governments. Lets hope the transition will not be a bloody and have another dictator take control.

I think that the Afrcan people are simply fed-up with all the puppet leaders they have! If left alone, these people can very well manage their own national affairs: The only time these people in "third world" nations have problems with their leaders is when their leaders are propped by so-called developed nations.

What's happening? 0.3% of the population of Egypt is taking it on themselves to decide for the other 99.997. What's happening? Something to the effect of the equivalent of 44% of the population of the state of Wyoming rioting on Washington DC, demanding change, with no input from the rest of us.

I think the people in Tunisia just had enough. They want democracy just like they see in other countries. And after the tunisians showed such a thing could be done, they inspired others as well. I can definitely understand them, even though I have never lived in such a country. They know it is not normal to have the same ruler for over 30 years if the country is supposed to be a democracy, and they are quite right!

I find no use of such governments! What's interesting to note is how people around the globe expect their governments to be fully involved in their well-beings ... here in America, people are asking government to get out of their affairs to points where federal deregulations, etc. have caused great harms to our own citizens. But, when there are horrific happenings such as the great Gulf Oil spill (recently) ... seemed the whole of American screamed for the government to act and assist immediately ... how can a government not involved responsibly ACT without legislated, "enforceable" regulations and policies that would protect its people? Despotic situations such as the Egyptian people have experienced over 30 years are almost always toppled and perhaps may be expected ... especially in this day of high education and information.
