It's the only place I know of where the civillian population got so upset that they mobbed the capital building (despite the armed guards), broke in and trashed the place. Sure, that happens from time to time during military overthrows of civilian governments. But an unarmed and unorganized civilian population overthrowing the capital with its own bare hands by shear riot force? The only place I can think of where that has happened in the last 6 years is Argentina. Most other places (Los Angeles, Paris, etc.) when they riot they trash their own neighborhoods or some innocent bystander. The December 2001 riots in Argentina went right to the source of the troubles. -- -Glennl The despammed service works OK, but unfortunately now the spammers grab addresses for use as "from" address too! e-mail hint: add 1 to quantity after gl to get 4317.
