I am not clear on what you have a problem with. Are you suggesting there is no category three? Are you saying there is a category three, but they were not involved in this? How do you know, either way?
What is your explanation for the excessive risk taken by those running the blockade? Do you think they did not expect there was risk? There are many simple core questions that are not being addressed in my view - when I give thought to theses questions, I can only conclude, the matter was staged.
And to be clear, just because it was staged is not a judgment on it being "good" or "bad", that is another question. "staged" events can deliver results, but it is what it is. I think we can be honest and call things what they actually are, and if we do that we (not you and me but everyone interested in resolving conflict in the ME) can move on to bigger and broader issues.
