Subject: RE: BS: Is the USA really a democracy?
Armed rebellion cannot succeed unless there is a foriegn power working with the rebels. I'd (pedantically) question whether that really applies in the case of the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the English Revolution, or the Iranian Revolution. True enough you can always dig up some examples of outside support, but in those cases they aren't that crucial.
