Tunisia has a new constitution!

http://news.yahoo.com/tunisia-pm-desi...

the first govt toppled during the Arab Spring uprisings, Tunisia signed their new constitution last night! Sometimes revolution produces more than chaos and anarchy, if people are willing to work hard enough.

I fell in love with Tunisia writing The General and the Elephant Clock of Al-Jazari, and I am so happy for them, and so hopeful their model of working together and finding a middle path will be a model for the region.

Noah The winter weather in the Northeast this weekend was the perfect weather for re-reading the stories of John and Gabriel this weekend, so I did.

Yay for Tunisia!

I'm such a nerd for constitutions. I can still recite the preamble from memory. (And I do, sometimes, in traffic.) My first major crush was on James Madison. I can't wait until the new Tunisian constitution is published so we can all read it! Good God, I sounded just like Leslie B. Knope!

Antonella My Tunisian friend wrote me today because I had sent him this article:

He just spent one week in Tunisia and experienced the euphoria of the people there.

Ciao
