Iran was able to squash their uprising. The people were put back in their place.
Tunisia was not.
Troubles in Yemen and Jordan.
Wait and see what happens in Egypt.

You don't need the internet to get information out. Just get it to sympathetic LE or military to distribute through their network. Exactly how the Egyptians are likely doing.

Yes let us hope so. But why not fix things and avoid the need? I mean really how hard can it be. Print money and give it to everyone. Simple and it gets the economy going. But no the banks want the new money so they can profit from it. They are trying to take more out of the worlds economy than the worlds economy can bare.

I agree with just about everything you said. I'm just relieved to see that true government control of the internet is impossible.
