The whole Middle East is on fire right now, and it's spreading fast. Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain...all of them decided (seemingly spontaneously) to overthrow their respective autocracies. Then Libya joined the fight, and right now innocent peaceful protesters are getting the ever-loving shit blown out of them by their own military...but even their military, much like Egypt's, is starting to side with the Rebellion. I read a newsflash today that two colonels who had received orders to bomb protesters took to their planes and flew into Malta, requesting asylum. Not quite the display "Crazy Ivan," a Russian troop commander in World War II who shelled his own HQ until they gave him more vodka, would pull off, but it's a damned solid start. Gaddafi and his son are madmen, and everything is turning against them. Images of massacred civilians are flaring up all across the Internet. And you know what? It's perfect.

I'm damned proud to be a human being right now. And so should you.
