Tunisia's Revolution woke up the entire Arab world. The region seemed to reach a nadir in its political life. Regimes bereft of any purpose expect maintaining their power and the alternative to brute repression was the sectarian-plagued nations of Lebanon and Iraq.
Tunisia was that moment when the Arab world said "Enough" and rose up to overthrow the old order and usher in a new and free Arab nation. Tunisians are the pioneer people here and have won a special place in Arab hearts previously reserved solely for the Palestinians.
After getting rid of Ben Ali, the "Tunisian breeze," to borrow the expression of an Egyptian, has swept up Egypt's Mubarak and look set to obviate the regimes Yemen's Saleh and the irascible Gadhafi in Libya.
Tunisians and their mordant chants against Ben Ali have given way to cleaning up the nation from the images of the ex-tyrant. Ben Ali vinegary image used to be pasted all over the country. Tunisians have already renamed the nation's largest airport, a main capital square and avenue from Ben Ali to Mohamed Bouazizi, the man who sparked the Jasmine Revolution and Arab Spring.
The vicissitudes of the Arab nation now has given way to creativity. Arab dictators thought/think little of their people as they consigned them to a life of abasement. Artists were forced to be unduly restrained. But now a new air is being inhaled. Tunisians have taken to their streets to remove the images of the old guard and put up the spirit of the revolution:
Wooster Collective.
Awesome!
