We are seeing a growing uprising against the powers that be in Islamic countries. In case you haven't been paying attention to the little events on the news, a lot of Western foreign policy has been associated with that area of the world (the Middle-East, although on the map that part is little -- look close).
It's not every day a country of Egypt's size, with Egypt's importance in the Mid-East has a revolution. Believing a revolution is doomed to inevitable failure because prior revolutions around the world have failed is a fallacy, and, frankly, small-minded.
I'd caution against that.

Fair enough. I doubt this uprising has long term staying power, but that isn't for me to decide. In any event, it makes for some compelling TV / tweets.
