More history in the making

What an exciting time to be alive. I have been glued to the TV watching first Tunisia, then Egypt overthrow their tyrannical dictators. Now I am watching Libya fight for their freedom. What an great opportunity for students to watch what our forefathers faced. First they had to win their freedom, then they had to set about building a government everybody agreed upon. We can watch Tunisia and Egypt as they struggle with these same issues. In some ways, winning the battle may be the easiest part; getting everyone to agree on what a new government looks like may be the bigger challenge. You can check out this news report for quick overview of the events that toppled two governments in less than two months.
