One can't help but make comparisons between the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe and what is happening across the Middle East and North Africa today. And just as what happened in Romania was more violent than the norm (942 deaths), there are massacres going on right now in Libya. I light heartedly speculated about where Gaddafi will retire, but in light of developments since that post, I think he should consider himself lucky if he receives a quick trial and an even quicker (and relatively painless) execution (think Ceausescu).
This video shows some incredible images of the Romanian revolt.
