This allowed radicals to seize the government under guise of protecting the revolution and purge everyone else. Thankfully the Egyptians are in no danger of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755035051021414780.post-74867257098488519272011-02-11T15:43:42.540-05:002011-02-11T15:43:42.540-05:00There was also a lot of partying after the Shah wa...There was also a lot of partying after the Shah was booted out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755035051021414780.post-12075630312699887612011-02-11T15:30:50.008-05:002011-02-11T15:30:50.008-05:00Well, don't count your chickens before they...Well, don't count your chickens before they've hatched.

We don’t know what it will be. We know that it is cool.”<br /><br />And bring back TX Hammes Reading list:<br />http://live.armedforcesjournal.com/2008/08/3566947/<br /><br />Fortunately, over the past couple of decades, a number of books have provided thought-provoking new theories of how the world works. Unfortunately, these theories do not align with the planning processes we use in the defense industry. The first step in fixing our planning processes is to examine how science’s understanding of reality is changing.<br /><br /><br />The authors of these works highlight aspects of how the world has changed. This forces us to change how we frame problems, how we organize to deal with them and even how to get the best out of our people. For instance, if one still saw the world as a hierarchy, then one looked for the “leadership” of the Iraqi insurgency in 2003. Yet if one saw the world as a network in which emergent intelligence is a key factor, then one quickly saw the networked insurgent entities as they evolved an emergent strategy in Iraq. Our ability to adjust to the rapidly changing future security environment will, to a large degree, depend on our ability to understand the world as it is rather than as we have been taught to understand it. Reading these 12 books should help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755035051021414780.post-2355786993529117802011-02-11T14:28:49.081-05:002011-02-11T14:28:49.081-05:00Wael Ghonim:

This revolution started on Facebook. This revolution started in June 2010 when hundreds of thousands of Egyptians started collaborating content. We would post a video on Facebook that would be shared by 60,000 people on their walls within a few hours. I always said that if you want to liberate a society just give them the Internet…. The reason why is the Internet will help you fight a media war, which is something the Egyptian government regime played very well in 1970, 1980, 1990, and when the Internet came along they couldn’t play it. I plan to write a book called Revolution 2.0… that will highlight the role of social media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755035051021414780.post-59927559095652730612011-02-11T14:25:39.242-05:002011-02-11T14:25:39.242-05:00i don't know about you guys, but i'm gonna...i don't know about you guys, but i'm gonna work for facebook now. google is going down, down. google has 20,000 employees, facebook 2,000. why didn't wael use google groups or youtube? facebook is the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755035051021414780.post-2726584224700038302011-02-11T14:02:11.663-05:002011-02-11T14:02:11.663-05:00Well said Jason!Well said Jason!Mike Fnoreply@blogger.com
