The Dangers of Blogging (in the Middle East)

Unfortunately for Iranians (along with citizens of other dictatorial and freedom-suppressing regimes), blogging is not as easy or safe as it is in Western democracies - "inappropriate" Internet use is being met by a serious crackdown in Iran. Let's hope that the arrests of bloggers help to shed light on the need for change within Iran and other regimes - it would be great to see another domino in the Middle East fall. Unfortunately I think it will take more acts of defiance from within Iran before the outside world (read: Europeans) actually begin to care.

Meanwhile, the Instapundit notes massive anti-Syria demonstrations in Lebanon. Could Bush's domino theory actually be starting to take hold?
