The Romanian revolution will probably go down in history as the first one orchestrated by television. 9/11 was perhaps the biggest incident captured on video cameras by amateurs. I wonder if what's going on in Burma now will be the best example of a revolution organised and reported thanks to the camera in a mobile phone? Fingers crossed that all this goes in the right direction. People are driven to take these enormous risks through sheer desparation. Nothing has got better in Burma for decades.
