I could have said `getting educated` but your posts show clear signs that you have an education- however, you can teach a parrot to squawk but it will never understand just what it is squawking about.

"So the whole notion of popular discontent bringing down governments is rather a European phenomena"

As in 1776. Guess where.
Chinese Revolution (1927-1949).
1810. Mexican War of Independence, a revolution against Spanish colonialism.
1896. the Philippine Revolution
1908. Young Turk Revolution forces restoration of parliament.
20th Century popular revolutions or uprisings in Asia to throw out colonials.eg Indonesia, Vietnam etc.
Or in India where miltant rebellion gave way to civil disobedience led by Mahatma Gandhi.


I save the beat to last
Venezuelan Simon Bolívar. This is funny. He even took part in the founding of guess where. COLUMBIA!!!!

As for you citing Cuba. The reason why Castro came to power so easily in the end was because it WAS a POPULAR revolution, you fool. That there has been relatively little resistance is because Castro has been a benign dictator unlike the crooked gangster he replaced. Cuba will sort itself out if left alone by its ugly neighbour. God forbid they should actually help Cuba, as we all know that such help comes only on the condition of allowing US Corporations license to rape with impunity.You and Cipora are equally ignorant, hence your affinity.

By the way are you in Columbia to shoot Trade Unionists and left wing Mayors or is it just a holiday?
