but if the US people are totally demobilized and can't do a regime
change to a paper bag (as you say), who's going to do it?
Most likely, no one is going to do anything, but I'm saying that there
are examples that could give the Americans knowhow of political action
if they were so inclined.
I'd be of course pleasantly surprised if the Americans rose up against
the White House and Congress and stopped the Iraq War and established
normal relations with Iran -- I'm just not counting on it. Look at
the history of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, etc. -- none of
them stopped practicing colonialism on account of their own citizens'
revolts.
