Once Obama has made sure that the dictator is down, he said that he salutes the "courage" of the Tunisian people and called for free elections.
Wait: does that mean that he now calls for free elections in the other dictatorships that he sponsors?
Or he only wants free elections
1) in countries that are not aligned with the US:
2) in dictatorships that are sponsored by the US ONCE THE DICTATOR IS DOWN.

Fida'iyyi Bin `Ali
It seems from live coverage that the secret militias of Bin Ali, along the lines of Fida'yyi Saddam, are terrorizing the population at night. The military-intelligence apparatus--with full US and French support--would not give up easily on power.

Aljazeera plus Al-Akhbar plus Wikileaks and Tunisia
Comrade Kamal is right: The brave Tunisian people, Aljazeera (even with a relatively restraint coverage), Al-Akhbar (though its translation and dissemination of the Wikileaks document on corruption in the government), and Wikileaks did Bin `Ali in.
