You've heard the phrase "liberty, equality, fraternity or death!" The romantic feelings associated with the French Revolution comprise more of a fiction than reality. Two days ago on July 14, France celebrated Bastille Day. It commemorates the storming of the Bastille and the launch of the French Revolution. While this revolution is has much myth and romantic notions associated with it, fact is, the French Revolution was a monstrous horror. A thorough description has been penned by missionary Dr. Peter Hammond in a recent article titled: "The French Revolution." He writes: "The French Revolution has been the inspiration and model for all socialist and communist revolutions in modern history." As we look at the French Revolution, we see some characteristics that are in common with the lawlessness and civil unrest of our own day in our own country. He continues: "The tools of the French Revolution were: dis-information, propaganda, the subversion of language, malice, envy, hatred, jealousy, mass murder and foreign military adventurism as a diversion to distract the masses from the failure of government. These tools have been implemented by more modern revolutionaries: Vladimir Lenin, Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Fidel Castro, Che Guevare, Patrice Lumumba, Nicolai Ceausescu, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh and Robert Mugabe."
