Yes, even though I do not entirely agree with Robespierre's politics, I still admire the fact that he attempted to establish a republic in a formerly absolutist country.
Hmm, that's strange that he studied at Columbia. My perception of Columbia has always been a place where the students smoke weed and sing some sort of a Black Power anthem around a campfire... One would think that there would be more Robespierre sympathizers in such a liberal university.
