It was of course not the only factor but I've heard the uprising in Tunisia linked to the revelations in the diplomat cables. That idea sounded more convincing to me than the explanation that it was a "twitter revolution."

I had a good laugh reading the U.S. ambassador to Canada writing about anti-american sentiment as shown in certain tv shows on the cbc. I consider me being successfully entertained a concrete thing, though I guess not much in the grand scheme of things.
