I think when the army is called out to supress a riot, you're suddenly going 
to find there's a whole bunch more than half a dozen zeolots.  I don't think 
the whole Tiennaman Square thing would have gone down around here. Heck, 
we're *still* talking about the three or four people shot in the 1960s on a 
college campus by the local army.
