Julian Assange fight for the transparency of the worlds governments is something that could affect all of us. When you open up a government its like you open a journal full of secrets, but in most cases these "journals" tend to be written in blood. From unheard of wars to unknown military failures, wikileaks released thousands of classified documents that show what really goes in our governments.
I believe there will be many more riots based on the content which this documents contain and that it is for a greater cause which can help us as a world to improve with the new found knowledge.
Now that people are starting to realize whats going on it's probably not going to end so easily, Assange has opened a new door to untold wonders and secrets and you know what they say "curiosity killed the cat".
