Certainly amazing to watch it all unfold.
I truly wish them success if they seek a democratic form of government. But I'm becoming very worried that the movement is quickly becoming co-opted by hard-line radical influences which seem to be very organized and gaining momentum. This is very reminiscent of Iran in 1979 where the vacuum of removing the Shah gave rise to the return of the Ayatollah Khomeini. This movement appears (to me) more orchestrated each day than grass-roots, which leads me to believe there is a considerable attempt by outside influences to shape the conflict.
