This blog post is somewhat off the beaten trail given what I usually talk about, but its level of importance in geo-politics is astronomical. In Tunisia, an Anti-Islamist party won the majority of the seats in the nations recent election. This marks the first time and Anti-Islamist party has held the majority since the Islamic Revolution that swept the region. The significance of his story is that both the United States and the EU have been helping these countries purse a democratic election as well has been hoping for an Anti-Islamist party to hold power. While this may seem like an un-important post, it actually could be the first of many countries to successfully reject the harsh islamist state rule.

I don't think that your post was un-important, I think it was great! This proves that CHANGE is coming and not just in the U.S but EVERYWHERE. This could be the start of a great movement.
