TWO COMMON PEOPLE - Beshir Sassi, a jobless from Tunisia, and Abdelhamid Gohar, a peasant from Egypt, told me: "We are glad that we had a Revolution. Now we have a lot of freedom and democracy. Nobody can arrest us because of our thoughts which are different from what our rulers think. Life has not become better yet we have become freer - this is the main thing."
This was my strongest impression of people in Tunisia and Egypt I met during the last few weeks on the eve of the second anniversary of the so-called Arab Spring, which had started in January 2011 in Tunisia and spread to Egypt in February 2011.
