Again with the adjectives.  We can go with population decrease if you wish, but the criterion that reasonable people agree on anything is problematic, for we don't have an objective way to determine who qualifies as a reasonable person.  Even the term bloody revolution is undefined, for the Brits like to refer to every undesirable thing as bloody, such as something I found fascinating as all hell when visiting Ireland: enormous fortresses made of huge stones.  No kidding.  I had never seen anything like it.  They refer to them as ABCs, or Another Bloody Castle.  Most remarkable is Ireland.  A local inquired "Where's me bloody umbrella."  

>...Odds of a revolution aside (I think they're pretty low), well over half of Gaza was built up and thus in position to be collateral damage from those looking to uproot/displace/kill people.  Less than 5% of US territory is likewise built up.  Even if a revolution did happen, the vast majority of American territory would remain unchanged.  Adrian
