Tunisians drive president from power in mass uprising

Ben Ali flees country; prime minister assumes control

TUNIS, Tunisia — Protesters enraged over soaring unemployment and corruption drove Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali from power Friday after 23 years of iron-fisted rule, an unprecedented popular uprising in a region dominated by strongmen who do not answer to their people.

Tunisians buoyant over Ben Ali's ouster immediately worried, however, about what's next: the caretaker leadership of the prime minister who took control, and the role of the army in the transition.

The industrial military complex cannot be happy with this.

Monday, I believe, is the 50th anniversary of Ike's speech. A great man and a visionary.
