Where did you get that idea, for historically, you are wrong. An armed populace PREVENT such actions just by being armed. You don't think there was a reason hitler did not invade Switserland in WW2, or Yamamoto's statement about invading america either. Our people here in america are better armed than most. A civil war is not the way to win. Picking off leaders and their families is the way you win a civil war.

they are proving that every day in Iraq.
