The ONLY two "revolutions" ...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />The ONLY two "revolutions" which led to some beneficial results were the "Glorious" Revolution of 1688 in the UK and the American Revolution. Almost ALL the others since were gruesomely bloody failures, in which flawed regimes were replaced by far worse ones.<br /><br />And even the Glorious and American Revolutions were marred by injustices, cruelties, and atrocities. Here I recalled how John Rolfe VI quoted in CONQUISTADOR from George Washington's orders that the Iroquois should be attacked in ways that would be called war crimes today. I assume Washington issued those orders because the Iroquois backed the British in the US War of Independence.<br /><br />Sean Sean M.
