wikileaks

When Wikileaks published the U.S. embassy telegrams, they set bigger things in motion than they realized.
It was the publication of the telegrams from the U.S. embassy in Tunisia, which informed the U.S. State Department how corrupt the local regime was, that caused the Tunisian people to finally unite and rise up to rid itself of the dictatorship.
This quickly became the example to follow for the people of Egypt, Libya, Syria and Bahrain.

Wikileaks deserves the credit for triggering the popular uprisings in the Muslim world this year.
Millions of oppressed people owe Julian Assange their gratitude.

you're giving it way too much credit. hunger, lack of amenities and corruption were the triggers.wiki just claimed the credit. i doubt more than one or two tunisians even read the wiki leaks documents.
syria has been a boiling pot for more than a decade with a small faction ruling a larger one. same with bahrain. lybia had already been a tinderbox and tunisia and egypt gave it impetus. wiki for all it's and your assertions never played a part in any uprising. it just came out at the time the tunisians felt they'd had enough.
