Reply #27: Arrested is removed from power

[DissedByBush]

We don't know what would have happened after the arrest because it didn't happen. We know he was destined for prosecution for several crimes that he did commit.

Yes, the military was the fall guy.

That's the problem. It wasn't a military coup, the military was just the tool.

And on reflection, I'm willing to call it a coup.

After researching coups a bit more throughout history, it appears we've ascribe a negative connotation to it that isn't necessarily deserved.

Coups aren't always bad. Sometimes they are they only way to get rid of a criminal president.
