Steve Coll on "revolutions"

"Lebanon’s anti-Syrian Cedar Revolution, of 2005, is the only comparable example in recent years, and it was incomplete because it could not overcome Hezbollah’s influence in politics.)"  1) look at the silly analogy given the sectarian goals of the movement; 2) Notice how the success of democracy is measured by the extent to which foes of Israel and US are defeated.
