When the French got involved in the American Revolution, it was active, initiated by the citizens themselves. In Iraq, there was no active revolution, unless you count the Kurds, and even they had pretty much carved their niched and stopped at that. The fact remains that no revolution that's been initiated by outside forces has ever lead to a successful, stable nation.
