In Arab countries when you overthrow one nutjob, you usually get another who can be far worse that the first one. I wouldn't clamor for the credit just yet.
Generally the trend with like 95-99% of Rebellions and Revolutions over the last couple hundred years. The replacement for the Tyrant or Authoritarian. Often enough ends up making the previous guy that got overthrown look like a Saint by Comparison.
Or plunges the country into total anarchy as whatever Government they establish proves unable to enforce anything and no one on the Rebels side actually made plans as to how to fill the power vacuum previously occupied by the Regime. Which normally leads to either another Dictator, often a disaffected Militant Rebel Leader overthrowing the new Government. Since it proved unable to do anything. And then they promptly turn into a worse version of the previous Dictator.
Which repeats the process. Until you get one willing to eventually surrender power and oversea an orderly transition. With or without international pressure. Which only takes a few decades and a few hundred thousand to a million or two lives.
The American Revolution was very much a rare and extremely lucky roll of the Dice.That it succeeded as well as it did the first time.
