- probably by 'divide and rule'/denouncing/etc,
but not rejecting military options.
It may be the start of the rot for CFK's 'models'.

This should be really fun to watch!

*It's a warning* of the way things go when street protests at government actions/inactions get 'out of hand'.
We see it on the TV daily in Egypt and Syria; it would be better were it not to happen in B.A.,
and thinking Argentinians - perhaps like you - would be best advised to counsel sticking to 'jaw, jaw, rather than war, war' (Churchill, 1954, White House)
