Only the UNintelligent would have taken that to mean what it said, literally ~

everyone else would have realized that it was an example of a civil war, where the military has MUCH greater armaments, as well as strategies for fighting, than the citizens EVER will, regardless of whatever the citizenry is armed with.

Yes, the iraqi military has heavy artillery, but hundreds of resistance movements have been carried out against very well armed militaries, and been successful. You will never convince me or anyone else on this board that the sole reason iraqi's have not staged a MAJOR revolt was the lack of arms. Its the middle east, getting an automatic weapon is as easy as buying toothpaste, many times it's even easier.

It wasn't only that I was taking your post completely literally, I knew exactly what you were trying to say, I also knew that it was amazingly stupid.
