As we sit in America looking past oceans and continents at the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt do we, or should we, envy the opportunities they have? Has our democracy descended into a plutocracy?

Questions like these are raised in an interesting op-ed from Bob Herbert of the New York Times that challenges us to look at the democratic revolution in Egypt reflectively. It's a short and worthwhile read.
