I'm no foreign-affairs expert, but it does seem to me that the election in Iran, and the participation of the populace via Twitter and Facebook, may be signaling a viral-like spread of the democratic values of free elections fairly counted, free speech, and free assembly (real or virtual). It's exciting to watch.

D.C. , The analogue that keeps coming to me is the change in Europe after Guttenberg.
I would love to hear someone who really knows some history think in that direction. Controlling the flow of information, whether by print, assembly, or electronically, seems again to be foundational in control of a population.
Exiting times indeed!
