Could be, Jeebesh, and that IS an interesting idea, but I'm afraid the
present is fuelled by rage and rage alone.  Not sure it can sustain itself
beyond a point. Rage tends to burn itself out and then you land up at the
door of the inevitable question, "what next?"  This what next is the big
political question and implies the inevitable engaging with your enemy in a
more sustainable way, perhaps as in a dialogue.  But dialogue on what when
there is no consensus in the crowd about the meaning of azadi.
