    Citizens are once again taking to the streets in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon & Iraq. Though the exact triggers of protests may vary, the fundamental cause is the same: a pervasive distrust of government.

    The thing about Sadr is that he might be able to kill enough people to put the protests down for now. But he has created something entirely new in Iraq. He created a sense of dignity, a new Iraqi identity. It is out of his hands now, and he wont be able to stop its growth.
