29. The greatest barricade resistances in human history
The Hungarian revolt was highly touted in the Mccarthy era of course because it defied the Soviet Bloc. Tanks were cocktailed by the dozens, the repression more violent and with complete impunity. The French Commune barricades and all Parisian uprisings were eventually quelled.

This time the government is hun g on the horns of a dilemma. The required brutality to crush a widespread public uprising is in the realm of a crime against humanity. Replacing their crooked crony is probably impossible except with an army surrounding him 24/7, violence or no violence. The regional revolt on the other hand is under siege and not spread to the nation.

Therefore the government should realize compromise is the way to resolve things and everything else waste and growing defeat for the regime and its shrinking(were it possible) legitimacy and moral stature. All the uplift and the passion goes to the defenders, the people. All the shame and blame to the so-called government of these same people.

Compare this to the "glory" and inspiration of the PNAC zealots and what they have prooduced and how the vast majority of humanity is forever turned against them, passing the test with more heroic character than any of the powerful could muster- ever- any day in their miserable useless lives.
