REVOLUTION

How revolting, revolving, what is this revolution thing about? Here's a definition. Now, the firstdefintion is probably good enough to get us going:

Possibly violent change/overthrow/rejection of a government/regime by its subjects. We've seen ithappen soooo many times in history and when did it ever work properly?

People of Britainviolently removed their king (including his head from his body), only to restore power to his sonsome years later, albeit he had to listen a little bit more to the parliament, who were still the nobelsand sons of nobels that served father king. Then there was the French revolution, hmm, let's say no more about Napoleon Bonaparte, except that he was a tyrant who made a world war, but is still remembered as the French Emperor of all times. Okay, the Russian revolution, hmm, where did it get to? Yes, the serfs overthrew the Tsar, but who killed millions of the serfs and their countrymen? The devoted communists Lenin & Stalin just to start with.

I'm running out of breath, so will just point at Cuba quickly before my main target. This beautiful island is a mess, isolated, has no economy, but is still proud of its revolution. Just as is Iran, the Islamic Republic is proud. 30 years today since the revolution that allowed it to germinate. Hmm, yes independence from the USA was brought on by Socio/Communist Islamist students, who then lost the power to the current rulers. Did they even think about what they were doing? The last bloke was not happily a puppet of the US, he chose sides for a reason, didn't want to be swallowed up by the big BAD Soviet Union, too right. And let us remember even the old dog UK has to suckle on mama USA. It's the way it is in today's world.

So, answer me this people of the previous generation in Iran. What was wrong with your lives, so drastically wrong, that you couldn't solve by dialogue and without revolution? Were you upset Iran had not been invaded for centuries, and hadn't lost its young men to stupid wars? Were you upset its economy was on the way up? Were you upset that its population was sustainble, and had better hopes for the future than most of its peers? Did you want your young to die or leave the country? Well, if you did, here you are, it's all there. WELL done.
