But the point is, eventually they (the ringleaders) all end up killing each other. Of course, a lot of innocents also suffer during the "Reign of Terror," but in the end, everyone finally agrees that it was wrong.

The French Revolution resulting of the over-throw of the Monarchy was not wrong. The resulting vacuum where the bourgeois fought over the riches and control by trying to eliminate the competition was wrong. On the other hand the American Revolution worked out quite well. Just goes to show that any revolution needs a great leader with high moral values and a just cause. Sans a great leader chaos reigns.
