So, I was watching Gahndi today
Now, I realize it's a different situation. But what do you think would happen if Iraqis just laid down their arms and practiced non-violent revolution against the USA?

5. Unless they had some unifying figure
At the front of their efforts, they would fail. Non violence as a political strategy works where there is a charismatic and well respected leader at the head of it a la: Ghandi, Martin Luther King
