extricating the government and the more sympathetic youth movements should be a high priority... but we need to make sure one part of the equation doesn't dominate the other.

We do have to be careful, though. These sympathetic peoples are watching us to see how we treat their government. Even if they dislike their government, if we go in there and start killing people (even if they're bad) we risk alienating these good people.
A study in sympathy: Even for those who are far left liberal and hate Bushco., if someone were to come in and wipe out our government, we'd hate them and want retribution.
