If this truly is the youth movement at work and they are hell bent on getting those kinds of changes, then I not only support them but cheer them on.

Of course I'm skeptical, but I'm also hopeful. Any activity like this, particularly in the ME, after all the previous decades of basically a lot of FAIL in the peace department as well as the standard of living department, can only be a good thing. (Here's hoping anyhow)
