Literally two comments ago you were saying this:

Most of the time when you destroy the system you get a much worse system.

Was the Shah good or bad? Is it important that what came before the Shah was a popular democratic system that the US destroyed? Is that destruction justified if it becomes a great vacationing spot for Americans?

You're all over the place bud.

So we agree. The revolution didn't actually improve things for most people.

No lol, we do not agree.

There are numerous examples of revolutionary change bringing better, more equitable systems of governance.

The only pattern I see is that the ones where the US is involved end up turning to shit.
