Tunisia falls

Everyone is now confirming that the government of Tunisia has fallen, and that the President has attempted to flee the country (whether successfully or unsuccessfully is not yet reasonably confirmed; the French will know soon). Nobody seems to know who's going to be in charge once the dust settles, but bets seemed to be split between a democratic revolution imposing an electable government, or a military coup.

If the protesters can hold on for a few days, then the first major political game change of 2011 may be "up". Hopefully they can keep it moving. The world can use some good news.
