Good point. It was also inconcievable that it would happen in Germany some 50 - 60 years ago, too.

I think Americans have been indoctrinated to the point where no soldier in a voluntary army will fire upon groups of likeminded people with the same creed who are protesting for freedom. Sure, a madman can assume power, but he would break the Constitution and the trust the American people have placed upon him. Invading countries and killing foreigners is one thing. Killing your own people for the sake of basic rights is another.
