I thought that it was almost an outrage to for Negoda to believe that America played this out. To pay a man to set himself aflame! That would be political and social suicide if that was true in any way. I also thought that for a man to sit aflame for ten minutes without flinching is amazing, and that how almost nobody helped him. It almost seemed that the people were worshipping him. For the Tunisian Revolution now. How one man setting himself aflame start an entire revolution is astounding and entirely amazing to me. One man to undo a dictator that believed he would be president (for life). If you also happened to watch the 60 minutes episode that the reporter was interviewing the man who helped the revolution through radio was amazing because it almost seemed that he was proud and happy that his country was revolutionized for the good. It was something new for me. To actually see a man who is proud and happy about a revolution. It's really beyond words for me.
