Facebook and twitter aren't nothing in the scheme. Like Malcolm Gladwell pointed out a week or two ago in the NY Times though the East Germans over-threw their government at a time when the majority of the population didn't even have a telephone. The technology is maybe making the word spread faster, but at the end of the day its not a root cause.
I think that is a great point about Al-Jazeera btw.
