Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of the start of protests in Bahrain. Tens of thousands are expected to take to the streets to protest a government that has committed terrible violence against its own citizens.

When Bahrain's streets awaken in protest tomorrow, will government forces crack down on peaceful demonstrators again? Will there be more tear gas, torture, killings?

We don't know what will happen tomorrow. But we do know that tragedy is not inevitable.

Anyone who has ever thought that there was nothing they could possibly do to change the world, may wish to reconsider. Nowadays, everyone can generate the power to start a revolution at our fingertips.

When "The Founding Fathers" of USA adopted the Bill of Rights guaranteeing that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press,” very few could possibly have foreseen that anyone could publish a truth accessible to the entire world via the World Wide Web to be read or viewed by millions of people around the world.
