There WAS an English revolution, well ahead of the French one, it was magnificent (by which I mean it was on multiple levels, dramatic and profound and well worth studying)and probably a necessary precurser for the successful American War of Independence. It may have been a necessary precurser for the Soviet Revolution, for that matter (Levellers and all that).

As Harry Truman said "The only thing new is the history you don't know!" ("Plain Speaking")
