I wouldn't understimate the power of the internet and the use of facebook and twitter. It may sound corny, but I think the internet has made the idea of freedom and democracy more accessible and attainable. The idea of a state controlled media is outdated and can no longer be used to brainwash and manipulate people. I believe a diversity of ideas, opinions, and political views have emerged as a result of this.

There is nothing corney about that and dictators cannot block their flock any longer from the rest of the world. But just remember it was Bush who said if you introduce democracy to the middle east it will spread.
