Frustration and hope

"On the streets of Arab cities, the joy was sometimes tempered with tristesse for those still under authoritarian governments.  “As much as I was happy, I felt sad for Arabs,” said Shawqi al-Qadi, a Yemeni opposition leader. “Why are we ruled by people who are so hated and disgusted by their people? How did that happen to us?”  And wistfulness.  “I wish I was an Egyptian today,” said Jammal Amar, 23, a Beirut university student. “What happened makes us confident that we can revolt against injustice and oppression and prevail.”
