Middle East: How Did It Spread So Fast?

Turn on the t.v. and you are likely to find another anti-government uprising in the Middle East. I am left to wonder: how did this happen so fast over such a wide area? Did the government implement just one last law that reduced its citizens rights and was the straw that broke the camel's back. Or is there something else at play? It wouldn't be do far off to consider a secret intelligence cyberspace endeavor to help promote this change. Just think. People are more likely to get involved if they know others are doing. Humans are social animals, the lone ranger is few and far between these days. All it takes is a pseudo group to implement a detailed list of grievances against his or her government. This is spread consistently, perhaps over years, to the local population. In time, 'natural' citizens take on to the idea and begin to develop the animosities of the government in their own mind and the minds of their friends and children. This escalates, and the movement begins.
