We have seen a veritable revolution in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and now in Syria. Yet no commentator has bothered to tell who is who, in those countries, was put in charge of the opposition to the regime, who has driven or simply inspired men and women take to the streets to ask, rather: pretending , freedom and democracy.
