No. We just pal around with them and secretly want them to win.

Liberals FTW! O.o

OMG wikileaks was the thing that triggered the Tunisian revolution

Quote:As in the recent so-called "Twitter Revolutions" in Moldova and Iran, there was clearly lots wrong with Tunisia before Julian Assange ever got hold of the diplomatic cables. Rather, WikiLeaks acted as a catalyst: both a trigger and a tool for political outcry. Which is probably the best compliment one could give the whistle-blower site.

And now Egypt! Wow... FUCK YOU DICTATORS!

i dont know was egypt a dictatorship? i just thought it had a bad and islamic goverment

If you vote for a guy he's the president. If you don't he's a dictator.

We have the same problem in the US with these tea-bagging morons.

Just a little bit of rock throwing.
The riot police are backing off because they're outnumbered by the marching protesters.

What's up with arabs and stone throwing, seriously it seems like they can't behave responsibly when there's a rock on the ground

Bad news the islamist party leader returns to Tunisia

Quote:Tunisian Islamist leader Rachid Ghannouchi returns home

The leader of Tunisia's main Islamist movement has returned home after 22 years in exile following the ousting of President Ben Ali earlier this month.

More than 1,000 people were at the main airport in Tunis to welcome Rachid Ghannounchi as he arrived from London.

Mr Ghannouchi, 69, says his Ennahda party intends to work for the popular uprising that toppled Mr Ben Ali.

Observers say his return is the most potent symbol yet of the change that has swept the country since then.

His return follows the interim government's announcement that media curbs would be lifted, banned political parties allowed to register and political prisoners amnestied.

Alongside his supporters, the Reuters news agency said, was a small group of secularists with banners reading: "No Islamism, no theocracy, no Sharia and no stupidity!"

Mr Ghannouchi fled Tunisia after a crackdown against Ennahda by President Ben Ali.

The movement came second to the ruling party in the 1989 elections, officially winning about 17% of the ballot. However allegations of fraud marred the vote and according to some estimates Ennahda's tally was as much as double the official figure.

Officially, Mr Ghannouchi is still subject to a life sentence imposed in his absence for allegedly plotting against the state.

However AFP news agency says that other convicted exiles have been able to return to Tunisia in recent days without hindrance.

At last there are protesters

Arabs are OK. Here a farmer claimed he saw an alien and throw stones to it.

I was being funny, making fun of stereotypes if fun.

Quote:He added that his Ennahda party was committed to a moderate Islamist approach and working within a democratic framework.

"We accept democracy without any restrictions and we accept the decision of the people whether they come with us or against us," he said.

He rejected comparisons that he said had been made in some Western media reports between him and Ayotollah Khomeini of Iran - who returned to Iran from exile to lead the Islamic Revolution there - comparing Ennahda instead to Turkey's Justice and Development Party (AKP).

I hope that his party is what he claims to be

AKP is not moderate, they just don't have the power to change everything. So they're changing things gradually.
