He added that "keeping Tunisia from sliding into the disaster ridden mess of some its neighbors is a vital and valuable achievement ... It could so easily have gone in a different direction."
Sarah Chayes, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, wrote about the General Labor Union in March last year. She said it was was "unlikely that Tunisia's remarkable political settlement would have come about" without the union's "muscular involvement.

OK, but lets keep in mind that Tunisia is a prime recruiting ground for terrorists, according to many the best. This country foolishly spends a lot of money educating its citizens for jobs that dont exist, leaving the youth disappointed and angry and willing to burn down the world. And while the situation inside of Tunisia is better than Libya, Syria or Yemen it is very much not good.
