In the next year the political unrest in the middle east will be at an all time high. With Egypt in its own transfer of powers or reveloutuion this is going to send shockwaves throught the Arab world. Alot of this has to do with the mass communication systems that are at the disposal of our society today. With views and ideas able to flash around the world at the click of a button we are sure to see many other countries follow the path that egypt has. I think that it would have been more bloody and unsuccesulf if the media that leaked out of the country of the policies of police and security forces never happened. During a broadcast on the news they were talking about how rallies and groups have been organized on facebook above all things, it seems like it is stronger than the sword or something like that. It is definatley becoming harder and harder for regimes/goverbnements to cover up the treatment of there citizens without having ansewr to the rest of the world. This is a great thing to see especially in the arab world that has been dealing with a long term stand of violence on both religios and ethnic groups, hopefully it will level the playing field for everyone in the system.
