The risk about sending the army in is that they just act as a focul point for the violence - tanks and APC's become a target for molotov cocktails for example. A tank getting stuff thrown at it from a mob simply looks impotent. If the army aren't actually allowed to use overwhelming lethal force (and it's unlikely they would be) /QB][/QUOTE]Tanks and APC's aren't needed IMO. What is needed is fellows like the Scorpions. Timely and limited use of them can terrify the populace into stopping. If they keep it up, then simply use them as firefighters. Horrific yes, but well needed. This has gone on long enough.
