The sound of one man's cry gave voice to a revolution that started in Tunisia, toppling the reign of Abidine Ben Ali, and spread through into Egypt, culminating in the sudden end of Hosni Mubarak's 30 year reign.

The 21st century calls for not only a new style leadership, but a more modern style of thinking. Autocracy has no place in this new era; never has and never will.
The MOST important message is that you can not hold on to power when the masses are starving, jobless and homeless. You can do the right thing, give people their freedoms and inalienable rights.
Give them jobs, raise their standard of living, educate them for crying out loud. When you die, you die a hero.

Or you could suppress the masses; and live long enough to become a villain. What's your pick? Door #1, or Door #2.

| R.I.P Mohamed Bouazizi (1984-2011) |
Give the people a voice, listen to them when they speak; and maybe they will listen when you speak.
Fail to study your history, and you will fail; period. When the people rise together as ONE, they become an unstoppable, immovable FORCE!! The will of the people can not be defeated, for it is mightier than any weapon!!
To Mohamed Bouazizi: even in death, your memory will live on. In the years to come, people may forget you (as some are bound to), but history will NEVER forget you.
