The role of Aljazeera in the Egypt uprising.

I wonder if the successful overthrow of Mubarak would have taken place so easily without Aljazeera's continuous coverage of the street protests. I mean in the old days repressive regimes hid the truth from their people but now, with international TV, everyone knows what is happening around them. More than anything else (Facebook included) I think it is Aljazeera that Egyptians have to be thankful to for their freedom.

Now that the criminal ruler has departed, the job is to rid Egypt of all those Mubarak cronies and recover the money they have stolen from the country. Unfortunately the new military rulers are in no hurry to do that since they themselves have benefited from Mubarak's rule. I predict more street protests. And more uprisings in other countries. To the chagrin of Western countries and the Zionist state.
