Yes. Reality is often a worsening of conditions rather the opposite, this has been the norm.

It’s unfortunate.

On one hand we do have to “applaud” a brutal dictator being deposed, which as an isolated fact is good. On the other hand, what will follow will be much worse, which is bad.

It’s the same story as with the Arab spring, we all thought it was going to be different. This is just from awful to worse I’m afraid.

Lose a shithead dictator, gain another Islamic theocracy.
