If we think of the Arab revolutions, there are many surprises yet to come. So far, most Arab monarchies have had enough legitimacy, money, and force to survive the waves of popular revolt that have brought down secular republican autocrats like Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak and Libya’s Muammar el-Qaddafi, but we are only two years into the revolutionary process.
想想阿拉伯革命，还有很多惊奇没有发生。目前，大部分阿拉伯君主国家都有充分的正统性、金钱和力量抵抗群众革命，被赶下台的都是世俗共和国的独裁者，如埃及的穆巴拉克和利比亚的卡扎菲。但我们进入革命模式才不过两年。
