Shortly, yes. One can suppose that the CIA (read US government) wants most life-long Arab leaders ousted - as soon will happen. Five years ago a US Ambassador to Tunisia suggested the following replacements for Ben Ali: Abdelaziz Ben Dhia, Chaouche Ali, Minister of Social Affairs and Solidarity, Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi, the former Minister of Defense and Foreign Minister Kamel Morjane, and also former First Lady of Tunisia Leila Trabelsi.
Also, it started from the Wall Street depredations which are ravaging the entire planet: outrageously high prices for food and fuel caused by derivatives speculation, high levels of unemployment and underemployment, and general economic despair. The detonator was the tragic suicide of a vegetable vendor in Sidi Bouzid who was being harassed by the police.
Tunisia is perhaps the first case in which Assange and Wikileaks can make a credible claim to have detonated the coup. Most press accounts agree that certain State Department cables which were part of the recent Wikileaks document dumps and which focused on the sybaritic excess and lavish lifestyle of the Ben Ali clan played a key role in getting the Tunisian petit bourgeoisie into the streets. Thanks in part to Assange, Western television networks were thus able to show pictures of the Tunisian crowds holding up signs saying "Yes we can" rather than a more realistic and populist "Food prices are too da@$ high!".
We see now that Italy is falling (because of Prime Minister Berlusconi's friendship with Putin and support for the Southstream pipeline) because of "illicit affairs" from over FIVE years ago and just NOW a hooker is wearing a wire (from who???) to push him over the wall.
An entire wave of destabilization is in the works as a current wave of subversion against the Arab countries was kicked off by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in her much touted speech last week in Doha, Qatar last week, when she warned assembled Arab leaders to reform their economies ( according to IMF rules) and stamp out corruption, or else face ouster.
The bigger question is WHY? That is an easier:; Iran, China and Russia - oil, food and drugs.
