And Iran has been a stable and fairly conservative country since Khomenei came to power in 1979, though it has had to fight a war against an aggressive neighbour. Admittedly what happened in 1979 was a revolution but how long do revolutions last? Are the post-Soviet Eastern European countries revolutionary? Is France a revolutionary country?
