Even the British Raj (the declassified papers of the British Raj shows) decided to quit India, when they suspected that they were losing control over the Indian Armed forces as symbolized by the Indian National Army trials and the Naval Mutiny. I at least cannot think of any peaceful revolution / demonstration to have achieved a regime change without subversion of a part / full armed forces. This subversion may be in the form of the latter coming out openly in support of the demonstrators or refusing to take action against them.<br /><br />In Pakistan - as it is said - the nation does not have a army, but the army has a nation. Therefore conditions for such subversion neither exist as on date nor are likely to come up in the near to middle term.<br /><br />A Tunisia in Pakistan therefore is unlikely to take place for this reason too apart from lack of a student movement as brought out by Mr Raman Sir.Akshaya Handahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912256330862566278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-54875698983831481192011-01-27T20:32:28.462-08:002011-01-27T20:32:28.462-08:00just wait for 6 months. as G2 ll get scrwed up n o...just wait for 6 months. as G2 ll get scrwed up n oil prices go up up n away........ambihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709973254351931979noreply@blogger.com
