The series of uprisings in the mideast and north Africa raises an interesting set of questions.
Is it possible that the same sort of uprising can happen in Cuba?
What are the similarities and differences that would affect this possibility? (i.e. how extensive and loose are the social networking activities in Cuba compared to the ME/NA countries?
Would it be possible (or even desirable*) for the U.S. to encourage the growth of social media in countries like Cuba?
* By desirable I mean that while a free Cuba would be ultimately a desirable outcome, any clumsy or heavy handed approach to that outcome on the part of the United States would likely have undesirable unintended consequences.
