Your pal,

Geez...I thought of a few others in recent years right off the top of my head...
Iran, Romania, the Philippines, Latvia, Estonia, and Lituania. I would not have remembered the last three on my own without having has a short chat with my friends wife Tuula on Friday.
Even China has had a peaceful succession of leaders after their revolution, though they have not changed parties.
I support the right of people to decide their own government, and to use whatever method they think will work (though they may end up making enemies of the wrong people depending on their tactics). Lives, fortunes, and sacred honour...
