details of the actions of the Tunisian president's wife, Leila Trabelsi, the cables that exposed site Wikileaks has now culminated in the civil revolution in Tunisia as a 'revolution first, Wikileaks'.
This is not the only title given to him: 'Revolution facebook', 'strained', and 'youtube', these are the names that recently replaced the classical theory of the revolution in Tunisia: 'Revolution hungry' and 'revolution of the oppressed'.
It is no coincidence that the first titles, which was visible and methods of implementing the revolution, granted to it in the West, while in Tunisia the same prefer names that describe the reasons for the revolution: repression and poverty.
This is not a coincidence in light of the understanding that the displacement of civilian governance revolution is a Western invention, exclusive, in that it is not likely unprecedented in the Middle East.
Accordingly, even when a revolution in the 'East', a revolution is not military or religious, as in Iran or Sudan, they mimic the West, if not the circumstances, then at least the means.
From here also expected to evolve in the revolution in Tunisia, B infectious.
Be transmitted through social networks to Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Yemen and Syria. Where are all the Internet, where all systems are repression and poverty.
Most of the population in which all young people, less than thirty, and there are all the 'aspirations of a pro-Western' and means Western.
This is the surprise: Iran tested in the green revolution, there has been no miracle.
Egypt preceded all of them in the use of the Internet, but the revolution did not occur. And apparently will not fall as well. Jordan's network is more social than political, and in Saudi Arabia located on the Internet revolutions, but of different types.
So why in Tunisia?
State, which won the signs of appreciation so many in the West, which is similar to its economy more than any other Arab country the Western economy, open and prosperous, with an active tourism, festivals, films, jazz, religion defeat to the margins and the suppression by force, many rights of women and the rate of women in parliament is higher than in Congress U.S., it is precisely out into the streets.
The reason is that Tunisia is created to the same wretched appearance, but in reality the Asir. Party government has time and again the majority in the elections. President, as in other Arab countries, to win support in the elections at rates ranging between 89 percent (in the last election) and 99 percent.
Refuge Internet domain that milieu, which allows freedom of expressing opinion, he became himself a tool of governance in order to find and punish critics.
Apparent, such conditions prevail in other countries in the Middle East as well, and the question is how much the public appreciates his ability to change reality?
In Iran, civil disobedience has not stopped yet, and the green movement is alive and breathing. But in Iran's Revolutionary Guards and Basij millions of volunteers are a powerful force, part of a system which has proven its ability to cleanse the streets of the opponents of the government.
Thus, also in Syria, where the area of the Internet also is immune to the opponents.
In Egypt, as well as military and police force used by the government, gives the impression of the exciting work of the internal criticism. Not only the Internet but also in the streets where they can hold demonstrations, and strikes in factories and critical articles which enables to read even in government newspapers.
This safety valve, along with absolute control over the recruitment services such as professional associations, and create a 'common threat' such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the rule allows for the separation of criticism and protest, between the aspirations of the critics.
However, the underlying possibility that afflict the surface above and below the list in each of these countries.
In spite of that revolution is not a contagious epidemic, Tunisia broke tradition and created a new reality. For the first time underwent a provision to public pressure provided by the State.
And not because of a military coup. After several months, is expected to hold elections for the presidency in Egypt, which apparently will be the first country that will be possible to test the impact of the revolution of Tunisia.
