The diffusion of technology has enabled Middle Easterners to monitor vote-rigging
Thomas Friedman
Economist and NYT Columnist
Twenty years ago, I wrote a book about the Middle East, and recently I was thinking of updating it with a new introduction. It was going to be very simple – just one page, indeed just one line: “Nothing has changed.”
It took me two days covering the elections in Beirut, Lebanon, to realise that I was dead wrong. No, something is going on in the Middle East today that is very new.
What we saw in the Lebanese elections, where the pro-Western March 14 movement won a surprise victory over the pro-Iranian Hezbollah coalition, what we saw in the ferment for change exposed by the election campaign in Iran, and what we saw in the provincial elections in Iraq, where the big pro-Iranian party got trounced, is the product of four historical forces that have come together to crack open this ossified region.
First is the diffusion of technology. The Internet, blogs, YouTube and text messaging via cell phones, particularly among the young – 70 per cent of Iranians are under 30 – is giving Middle Easterners cheap tools to communicate, to mobilise politically and to criticise their leaders acerbically, outside of state control. It is also enabling them to monitor vote-rigging by posting observers with cell phone cameras.
