About revolutions

The French revolution was an exciting one. It was about democracy. About bringing a new order.

What happened, however, was that after toppling the regime, the various factions started fighting each other. Eventually a new dictator, Napoleon, emerged and put order to the great mess existing in the country.

Another example? The Shah of Iran was followed by the power of the current clerics. When all is said and done, the reports from Iran suggest that things are not much different now.

The Russian revolution toppled the czar, but was followed by Lenin and Stalin.
Are the revolutions in the Middle East going to bring “democracy’ and be different from the teachings of history?
