Revolution. It is a small word with different variations across languages that strikes fear into the minds of all leaders, from fascist dictators to democratically elected presidents alike. For such a powerful word, however, “revolution” has a bit of a paradoxical set of themes in its definitions. For those of us here on this pale blue dot, we imagine a wave of impoverished peasants taking arms and flooding the streets, tearing down fortresses as if they were a child’s sand castle built too…
pull out of Kuwait in mid-January so as a result the Gulf War began with a massive air offensive by the United States known as Operation Desert Storm. After a 42 day offensive in the air and on the ground by the allied coalition President George H.W.
