His­to­ry and pol­i­tics are replete with zigs and zags into all kinds of unex­pect­ed direc­tions. Take for exam­ple, the Shah of Iran. He looked impreg­nable on his throne until he was top­pled by mas­sive street demon­stra­tions. Who could have pre­dict­ed that the sui­cide of a street ven­dor in a small town in Tunisia would lead to the over­throw of an entrenched dic­ta­tor­ship and revolts across the Arab Mid­dle East? Or that a pop­u­lar upris­ing in Arme­nia would lead to the ouster of an oli­garchic régime in that coun­try or that a real estate mogul and real­i­ty TV host would become pres­i­dent of the U.S.? His­to­ry and pol­i­tics are full of surprises.
