is this: the us government has no compunction against using weapons of all types against non-combatants. and as much as it pains me to say it in this case Chomsky is correct, the government will always be able to outgun us.

does this mean never use weapons in our fight? does this automatically call for pacifist tactics? not necessarily. but it does call for being smart in knowing when and where which tactics / which strategies are useful and feasible. it also calls for not underestimating our opponent, for knowing the history of atrocities they have committed and are still willing to commit, are still committing.
