I think (hope) it will happen, and sooner than some might expect.

We are either going to see serious restriction of the internet or a lot more people are going to ask serious questions about their governments. The great Firewall of China for example

IMHO It's the women of the muslim world that are getting hosed, no proper education and very limited rights. The key to unlocking progress and moving into a democratic society is right there. Look what freeing women did to countries all over the industrialised world. It's the main beef I have with these religions and the way they abuse their theocratic society members with impunity.

But I think it will change, the youth in the middle east want security and prosperity and all the benefits of democracy - at least if they are given the chance. Lets hope they get it.
