And you seriously believe that some misguided, dictatorial President can achieve real victory against an armed population of 100 Million of his own citizens??

The hunt for the Marathon bomber brothers in Watertown, MA says YES.

Like I said, you're paranoid, and have lost your grip on the potential dynamics at work here.

I'll say it again to see if it penetrates this time:

The entire might of the American military machine was unleashed upon an estimated 15 thousand Islamic insurgents in the Iraq war, and they STILL tied up our forces for TEN LONG YEARS, without us ever achieving real victory.

That is historical fact.

If a dictatorial President decides to go to war against 100 Million of his own ARMED and dedicated citizens, just how will the outcome be more favorable to his regime?

Using the above historically accurate data, logically explain your position to me.
