Hmm. Well one zio is now blocked. =)

As for the article, I think the Nicaraguan revolution is another important one to add to the list. The urban areas quietly communicated and organized with the rural areas and that's how they managed to topple their dictatorship. But... it was violent. I'm no PhD'd history buff but I do know there isn't a single non-violent revolution that free'd a people.
