Twitter the Revolution

I find it interesting that mass demonstrations are being sequenced throughout a third world country via twitter. 

Third World Politics Side Note 

(The public in Tehran are protesting the election results in Iran claiming they were rigged. 

In my opinion the whole Iranian "democratic" system is rigged. People it is a theocracy not a democracy. The only claims to democracy is that the people mass voted for a theocracy after the 1979 Revolution. The Rec put into power their Ayatollah and the Guardian Council both having all power with Khamenei, the Ayatollah having the most. He is their supreme leader.) 

I am sure China, if they have not already, has banned twitter. No Chinese Revs today. I can't imagine trying to grow a country today. You have to compete with first worlds, terrorism, mass communication, mass transits and instant gratification, while at the same time protecting the rights of your people and your own political life. No wonder so many countries continuously crash and burn.  

Cheers to those who get it right. I raise my morning coffee to you and keep on twittering.
