I totally agree with this. I see what is happening right now as a good thing. It is no accident that these revolts are all happening in dictatorships and fascist / socialist regimes. The people there, fueled by the new world communications systems are realizing that in the places that allow the "people" a voice, good things are happening. They want that too. Wouldn't you?

Yes, there will be some pain associated with this change. It's because the leaders in power now refuse to give it up without a fight. I really believe that what GHWB announced is true... we are on the verge of a new world order. A time when we renounce the old conflicts between borders and religions and become a human race, finally. Way way in the future, they will look at this time as when we finally broke free of the old feudal system and decided that we have one planet... its time to have one "people." It will be a rough transition, but it IS happening. Freedom is not without a cost, Americans know that. Now it is the third world's time to earn their freedom. We must do everything we can do to encourage them. I do not think that Lynhal's vision of World Peace is very far off now that every single human being on this planet can be heard through twitter and facebook and blogs of all kind. I see promise and potential. And I see hope for those who have never known it. It is a good day. :thumbsup:
