I'm really happy for what's happening in Tunisia, and how the will of the nation forced itself on the world.

But I'm puzzled and surprised of how happy "other" Arab citizens. From the Atlantic to the Arabian sea, the simple Arab citizen is rejoicing as if it was his mother who got liberated! I couldn't but wonder...

Is this the message that the people are sending to their rulers? In such a case, what a horrible fate the future has for ALL Arab Kings, Sultans, Presidents and Emirs.

It's amazing to see Jordanians supporting and rejoicing over the Tunisian revolution. It's not as spectacular for the Egyptians since they have resented their government for far too long, the same thing applies to Syria. But Jordan? Kuwait? Saudi Arabia? Even UAE? People are really supporting Tunisia in such masses?

It makes me wonder. What goes through an unelected Arab leader's mind? How is he going to survive if the nation, the whole country decided he shouldn't exist?

I guess Tunisia will be a good reminder to what Iraq, Syria, Egypt and even Libya have done last century. It will be interesting to see what this century holds for the Arab world. But if my predictions are right...

Some big heads will roll

Memories....

Oh really? It surprises you that people in Jordan resented the regime?

You might have misunderstood me, I'm surprized they're happy while suffering. Happy for others, but too helpless to do anything to help themselves. As if, they're sending a message.

Perhaps they're happy BECAUSE they can't do the same thing

Oh there are so many ways to read it

Thanks for passing by
