"I hope - unlike Iran - the uprising will not be "hijacked" by mullahs. They are out there and among protesters there are some pretty unholy people neither you or I want to see later.

Agreed. But - one of the stories flooding out of Tunisia mentioned a young Tunisian fellow who noticed a group of religious people at a demonstration who were calling on Allah and whatever it is that Islamists shout - he went over to them and told them this was not a religious affair, it was for all Tunisians. And after he left them, they started yelling along with the crowd "Yes, we can!" and "People power!" (The last part I made up - but I did see people carrying signs saying it.)

Short version: there are a lot of educated people who have seen how Islamic Republics tend to work out - I think they have a chance.

You mean like Russia is a haven for Serbian war criminals.

Gjon Trollović - I got impression, the topic is about Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. Russia is not that big (yet), even if you would love to see it spreading from Nevada to Tunisia wait few more years.

The country is young and well-educated, there hasn't been a war to ruin vital infrastructure - they've got a better chance than most I'd say to make it work.

Saudi Arabia is a haven for dictators. Wonder when its time for Hasim T to get out of Kosovo and go to Saudi Arabia.m

By now the Constitutionally-appropriate member of government, the Speaker of Parliament, has been sworn in as president and recognized by the African Union. Now it's up to people to allow order to be restored - "Chaos and tension rage on the streets, and a prison fire reportedly kills dozens." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/middleeast/la-fg-tunisia-protests-20110116,0,5324511.story There's a lot to be said for stability, and people are wise not to rise up over trifles. That being said, it's a wonderful day when a dictator is overthrown. This seems like the end of the Ceausescus, without nearly as much bloodshed. Tunisia was supposed to have a security service on a level with that of North Korea - but down it went in a day. The country is young and well-educated, there hasn't been a war to ruin vital infrastructure - they've got a better chance than most I'd say to make it work.

Tunisian Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi is now the acting president

I bet W Bush would've used his old name recalling method and nicknamed this feller: Baba Ghannouch
