Lately I have been thinking about the need for something like the French Revolution in the ME. Something that could really kickstart and change things.
French revolution is the standard for most of the leftists in ME and even around the world.
Even when we debate the efficacy of revolution in France, the idea has been proven terrible in the rest of the world.
Iranians went through French style revolution in 79, and look what happened.
Instead of getting Liberté, égalité, fraternité,
Iranians got bamboozled by religious freaks.
Nasir brought a revolution in Egypt and utterly destroyed its economy and permanently subjected that country to a military rule.
Same with so many other countries.
So no use of French revolution in ME, it has been done with. If we are willing to learn from history.
