Depends which side of the equation you are. Because for a lot of people, it's a conspiracy. It's American made. It is the Muslim Brotherhood. It's the Islamists. It is Israel. It is everything else other than people. Oh, but it's a pure revolution. It's a pure... I think we put too much weight on conspiracies.

Bouaziza, a fruit vendor, burned himself up, like the American soldiers who did that a few days ago, and that kind of sparked protests in Tunisia.
