Fighting for Freedom is so much more costly for individual lives than it ever was in history. The advances in weaponry make it impossible for citizens to overthrow a government on there own by use of force. It's like saying we could overthrow our government if they enacted marshal law. What else can we do? Just sit back and watch a population control operation by Qadaffi? I hope Assad finally gets real with his hype, but who knows. If he doesn't, the protests are going to get larger, then escalate to civil war, at which point the NATO needs to assist. The sheer size of an individual nations military make it imposable to win a civil war without help. Lets say we fought another civil war in USA and pit Republicans vs. Democrats. Could one side "really" win without international intervention? Doubt it, we'd just kill each other until the population dwindles down to nothing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:335729 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
