NY Times: In Morocco, Fears of Chaos Temper Calls for Change


Published: February 20, 2011

"You have to listen and accelerate change, because these kids want better things, not bad things.”

I think this protest going on in the Middle East has been a long time coming and I completely support this whole movement. A country where the population is dictated, manipulated, and sheltered from the outside, with technology where it is today, it was bound to happen. Internet or no internet for five days, (which shutting it off was an absolutely ridiculous attempt at demolishing contact with the outside world and was merely temporary), when such a large people so badly want change and decide the time is now, there's little that will stop the fight for it. I'm proud of the youth that have lead this protest -- the time IS now.
