> Nearly half of dictatorships start as a military coup

do you see jan 16 as a military coup? Coz i do. Just because the people involved are poorly equipped, and badly organized, doesn't mean it isn't.

We, as a nation, did not punish them hard enough. We as a nation, did not cut the hydra at their head, and allowed it to fester. It is done, perhaps, as a form of peace keeping and appeasement.

But history has taught us that appeasement does not work. So once again, those who failed to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
