... in which Charon tries to talk politics
So, this week, we are getting rid of Gaddafi ... I wonder who's next. Maybe we could give the middle east a little break and throw some getting rid of Berlusconi in? I'm also wondering what will become of all these guys. There are almost enough for a little reality show now ... something "I'm an ex-dictator (or an old creep) - get me out of here" like, maybe?

On a serious note - recent developments have shown me, how little I know about certain countries and their governments. Sure, you can't know everything, but I'm still feeling a bit ignorant at the moment. I'm also wondering where this is all going. Because you really have to wonder what country is next and who will take advantage of the situation. My inner communist is cheering of course, but there are few examples of revolutions started by the people that had a happy ending. Germany is the only example I can think of at the moment ... and some people probably wouldn't agree either.
