And now...?

So what’s next? The western world seems to hesitate as if they didn’t want to spoil the sweetness of the moment. Twittering teenies taunting terrible tictators. In a way we all want to be part of it, support, embrace and empower...but then, what exactly do we expect to happen?

Of course, what we want to happen is democracy and free speech, market economy and stable oil prices, but how likely is that to happen? History has taught us after all that revolutions tend to bring forward the next strongman, the next silver back who leads the way, his way, the next loud mouth who knows how to rally the masses behind him.

I wonder what Obama is thinking these days. Has he placed his bet yet? It will be interesting to see what his next moves are.
