And if you notice the Ayotollah Komenei kicking out the Shah or any
number of other well executed rebellions the is a huge difference between an
insurrection and a war.
Resurrections are as asymetric as all get out. Remember the Soviet --
things got so bad they collapsed of their own weight. If you lived through
the finale of Hitler's Germany the same thing happened.
If you happened to notice the Polish when they kicked out the Soviet
they ask for a few guns but more to the point they asked for communications
equipment. The guns? They were used to put a little fear into the police
going on the raids and slow them down a little.
I say if we have a vigilant armed citizenry we will never need
romantics armed with weapons that can blow down half a city block at a time.
