Ñ "Deprived of access through legitimate means, opposition groups staged violent demonstrations designed to undermine the regine; a predictably violent response from the regime merely added further fuel to the fire. That the end point of this cycle of violence was the overthrow of the regine in a bloodbath ... serve to reinforce an important lessonÑnamely, that violence was a much more effective way to achieve meaningful political change than peaceful, democratic means."*


This happened in IRAQ in 1958! Just substitute the Coalition Provisional Authority for "regime" and there's not much difference.
