Chaos (derived from the Ancient Greek Χάος, Chaos) typically refers to a state lacking order or predictability. In ancient Greece, it referred to the initial state of the universe, and, by extension, space, darkness, or an abyss (the antithetical concept was cosmos). In modern English, it is used in classical studies with this original meaning; in mathematics and science to refer to a very specific kind of unpredictability; and informally to mean a state of confusion. In popular culture, the word can occur with all three meanings.

Why did the French revolution fall into chaos, while the American Revolution succeeded?
Q. No doubt the American Revolution inspired the French to stage their own revolution- and some American founding fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, were sympathetic to the French Revolution. Yet whereas the American Revolution was success, the French revolution fell into chaos. What went wrong with the French Revolution? In a way France of the 1780s was truly Orwellian. Like Orwell's '1984', the people lived in a repressive society. And like Orwell's 'Animal Farm', the revolutionaries were even worse than those they deposed.

Did the Iraq surge work or did it just postpone the chaos?
Q. Yes, the metrics indicate that violence is down. Does anyone seriously believe that this is a sustainable state of affairs in a country and region where religion and self/family/tribe always have and always will trump nationalism. My sense is that as soon as the Americans leave (they have to, they are on the verge of getting kicked out, none too politely either), things will go back to chaos and eventually, either a religious order or a dictator will take over. I would love to believe I am wrong but know I am not.

A. The surge worked. Now, troops are staying put and making sure insurgents don't come back. And while this violence is down, we are training Iraqi Police (IP) so that they can take over when we're gone. They are surprisingly enthusiastic and good at what they're doing. They want a violence free country for their children. When we leave eventually, they will be able to take over. We will always have a base there though.
