The impression i have of this "arab spring" is that bad what harvests in Russia was the instigator, but that the net acted as a massive pacifier. This because via the net people could keep up with what was happening without actually being pulled in. Only when the net connection was cut did the likes of Egypt flare up. This likely because people now had to get out on the street and talk to their neighbors to stay informed. I do agree though that the middle east seems to be having its own 30 year war going.
