Watching, waiting...

RL is busy, but every time I get near the computer I refresh Andrew Sullivan to see what's happening. (Weekend wrap-up with many, many links here.) I also feel the need to add today's quote:

“All books about revolutions begin with a chapter that describes the decay of tottering authority or the misery and sufferings of the people. They should begin with a psychological chapter, one that shows how a harassed and terrified man suddenly breaks his terror, stops being afraid. This unusual process, sometimes accomplished in an instant, like a shock or lustration, demands illuminating. Man gets rid of fear and feels free. Without that there would be no revolution,” - Ryszard Kapuscinski, in Iran during the 1979 revolution.

ETA: Adding the vid (Iran is the third largest nation of bloggers), and also a link to some
Tweets From The Green Revolution. I'm still amazed that Twitter has become such a vital tool!
