I'm not sure if this forum is the best place to put it, but boston.com has a nice set of photos from the Tunisian protests to this point. There are some interesting ones in there, and I've selected some from the 40.

(This is Mohammed Bouazizi, the man who set himself on fire and later died, in the hospital. Ben Ali is second from the left visiting.

I see a "Hamma" there. Looks like the PCOT know that now's the time to start organising if they ever want a revolution.

Excellent. Let's hope the revolution continues. Just wondering, but have any protester groups obtained weaponry yet? If the Tunisian police are using tanks and rifles, the protestors will need some form of weaponry and quick, or the revolution may very well be quelled.

Also, third picture from the bottom, it's Bruce Lee!

¿Que?

Yes, let's mock the courageous individual who dared to stand up to the armed forces of reaction - a ton of them it looks like, without any real weaponry himself. Awesome.

Yeah, this coming from someone calling him/herself lolshevik. Classic.

I'm assuming the protesters are only calling for a liberal democratic government right? Correct me if im wrong of course.

I don't think the man aiming a loaf of bread at armoured policemen was being entirely serious the moment that picture was taken.
