After scanning the story of Algeria, I have to say you are right. The polarization of a society leads to Military suppression of civil unrest followed by a Leninist overthrow of the military...Unbelievable!

That's an old communist tactic. Arafat is trying exactly this. Pallies have become poorer and poorer the last decade. Pallie economy is trashed. These factors work for communist revolutionaries. On the other hand Israel and the USA are aware from history that these are tried and true tactics and will do best to counter them.
So I'm the last one on Free Republic to talk about the "Trust" set up by Stalin to draw in exiled ex pats with a hope of overthrowing the communists...and then killing them and all their contacts...All the while funding the KGB with false intelligence they were selling to US and British MI6? Crap...I'm going to bed.
