The concept of an armed citizenry rolling back the army of a tyrannical government has been a favorite fantasy of the Rambos of the right-- and to be perfectly honest, the loonies of the Left in the 70's. The recent festivities in Iraq should give such true believers pause. Let's face it, unless you have B-52s and JDAMS, the government has you way outgunned. The Marines made short work of the fedayeen, and they had mortars and quad machine guns, neither of which are likely to be on the open market soon.
