Wael Ghonim, the Google engineer who was kidnapped and eventually released by the Egyptian regime, would apparently like to thank Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for making the revolution possible. "I want to meet Mark Zuckerberg one day and thank him," Ghonim told CNN, adding, quite humbly, that he was speaking "
on behalf of Egypt." "This revolution started online," said the engineer who, it should be noted, earns his living off of the Interent. "This revolution started on Facebook."

Zuckerburg had nothing to do with it. It was all your doing, fellas. You organized, you protested, and you earned it, and the best part is you did it without the violence that the Mubarak supporters had to resort to, making you the better men. You're the ones who deserve the thanks and congratulations. You deserve better than what you had, and now you have the chance to get it. Celebrate long and hard, this was 32 years in the making.
