hopefully this is the beginning of the end for a number of long standing and corrupt Arab regimes. although the alternatives (if they are radical Islamist) may not be so good either.

You bet those are the alternatives, and you bet they are "not so good either". If you think in any of those long-standing and corrupt Arab regimes, a liberal democracy would flourish if you removed the regime, you are dreaming. And that applies to Tunesia too.
