PLN 12 "Yes they can, No we cant"

I read " Yes they can, No we cant" by Lina Ben Mhenni, what matters in this article is the people in Tunisia want change because now they are seeing the great change for the American people are beginning with Obama, and they want that as well. "In its 50 years of independence Tunisia has had only 2 presidents" said Lina in his article. The president for the last 21 years has been Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, and while he declares Tunisia a democracy, he has made all the decisions during his term, and now Lina and other Tunisians like him want change like they are seeing in America. Hearing the cry of the people Ben Ali was re-elected to a fifth 5- year term sayin that he would give freedom and respect for human rights, as well as reviving democracy. But Lina and other citizens want someone else. This relates to me because it shows how lucky we are to live in a contry that has so many advantages over almost every country, we live in a country that poverty could be considered rich in other countries, and this article shows me that i should not take advantage of my freedoms, because they are privilages. This also relates to the world because there are many other countries like Tunisia that want independence, but they may not be able to achive this.
