Napoleon was a tyrant, in fact an early equivalent of Stalin.He derailed the Jacobin revolution much like Stalin derailed the October revolution. The British road to democracy was slower, but less bloody, except the Cromwell part.
The Poles are proud of their early democratic history, but what democrat reveres an absolute monarch?
(OK, enough Poland-bashing)
