It would be harder to find something that so clearly underpins the ripple effect of the Arab Spring. So often we have heard protesters say that previous protests gave them the bravery to demand change. The outcomes in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, Iran, Yemen, Jordan, and Syria are still up in the air. But nevertheless, the measure of heart needed to risk injury or death at the hands of one's own countrymen and call for the removal of decades old institutions is awe inspiring.
