What an utterly inane comment.
Anyone who believes that the alarms and excursions attendant on
democratic elections are on a par with, for example, the Wars of the
Roses, the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, Pizzaro's conquest of the
Inca, or the peasant rebellions that overthrew waning Chinese
dynasties (to list just a few examples) should pay a bit more attention
to his historical education.
