Years ago when Lebanon was engulfed in a raging civil war I read a report by a gov't think tank that left an impression on me. The report pointed out that most of those combatants were only armed with shoulder fired weapons, not with tanks or jet bombers. That report looked at LA and basically pointed out that if all of the gangs there should ever become politically united and were only armed with small arms that it was feasibly take over LA. Sounds far-fetched but when the report stated that at that time there were twice as many gang members in LA than all of the factions fighting in Beirut I found it alarming. You think it could happen?
