Exclamation Tunisia & Egypt Uprisings

You know, back in the good old days when something of this magnitude happened in the world someone would make a topic about it in 0.2 seconds. What gives?

Anyway, shit hit the fan in these two countries. Apparently people suddenly woke up one day and decided they were no longer going to live under an evil dictator no more and revolted in HUGE numbers. Tunesia was first, after which it sparked protests in Egypt which in turn is slowly sparking protest in a number of Middle-Eastern countries.

On February second 2011, more than a million people gathered in Cairo for a protest against the president. Later that day there was stand off between presidential supporters and protestors which, despite the army's efforts to keep them apart, resulted in massive fighting and chaos.

At the time of writing there have been massive (over 1500) injuries and 3 deaths. Someone also thought it would be cool to plow a bus through the anti-president mob, no doubt resulting in further injuries and casualties.

These are very interesting developments, since this seems to be sparking a lot of uprisings and protests in a few Islamic countries under the rule of a dictatorship. If this keeps up it could very well redefine the entire Middle East and other Islamic countries.
