I keep thinking about that one Tunisian man who set himself on fire, the catalyst for all this underlying unrest. Just a little push can make the house of cards fall.

Apparently unrest in Morocco is starting to fire up too. It fizzled out a bit last week due to governmental threats but if neighbouring countries start winning out due to people power then there may be change there too. Although Morocco is slightly different as they have a monarch.

The Wisconsin unrest is unbelievable.......

Kami-sama bless those pilots for doing the right thing! I thought of the lyrics of "Rock the Casbah" when I heard that news, there is a line in that song where the pilots are commanded to fire on protestors but they ignore the orders, listen to the radio instead and fly away peacefully.

Yes the bravery of individuals is really astonishing, some Libyan soldiers have been killed and their bodies burned because they refused to fire on protesters.
