Spring season

The thing with being an ardent follower of The Economist is that it increases your faith in it with every passing day. Take for example this article which was published almost 2 years ago talking about the Arab Spring:

A quiet revolution has begun in the Arab world; it will be complete only when the last failed dictatorship is voted out.

Much to the magazine's prediction, the Arab Spring has spread across the MENA region. Many lives have been lost in the revolution that has been rather intense in Egypt, Libya & Syria. It's time these dictators stepped down and gave democracy a chance. But then again, is democracy the only solution?
