Yes, and this is in a country which is used to being used to support their
government rather than the other way around.  They've served under crazy
dictators for the past seven hundred years.

But... what can the angry people do, that's the question?  It took a lot of
very angry people combined with a depressed and disenchanted government to
take down the Soviet Union.  Can people get that angry again and can the
upper reaches of the government get that demoralized?

Yeah, but they did that in WWI and WWII also....  the farmers have been
angry for a long time.  How much more angry do they need to be?  I wish
I knew.
