Oh the cynics will be back howling the first time one of these governments takes a step back. And they will. But if it sticks even with half of them... WOW! What a thing.

Have you ever noticed that dictator ships come in clumps? That is because they depend on each other. Divide the clump and watch them fall.

I hoped. But I did not really dare believe. But now that the idea of liberty and of a government of, for and by the people is taking root in some very strange soil, I have to wonder if maybe we didn't understand the power of this little idea.

Perhaps, just perhaps, it is for everyone.

Once freedom gets out of the box, there's no stuffing it back in. All these Mideast and even Euro countries are emboldening each other.

Hell, there might even be a backlash in America for those who have forgotten that the people run the govt., not vice versa.

That's why we have seen Syria and Iran trying to get kissy-kissy lately. Syria is a Baathist, Arab Socialist country and Iran is a Shia Theocracy. They have nothing else in common other than tyranny.
