Iconoclast wannabe

There are two events, starting today and the second event next Saturday that we should watch.
That is two soccer games between Iran and Ireland. The younger people within Iran I am told want to have a democracy, and the one reason I believe for this is their youth being exposed to the ways of the west. I have read that there have been riots at past soccer games in protest of their government and the way they live. China is having the same problems with their population. This is one reason why they are moving towards a market economy. Between the internet and Third World people being exposed to our ways, they do not want to live like a rice farmer or goat herder any longer. If the world of the 20's had today's ability to communicate with each other just maybe there would never have been a Hitler.
