- I don't think so, or else we wouldn't sometimes use the term "military coup" & sometime not. I did think it had to involve violence of some kind tho -- nm - mara Nov 19, 07:43 7

        Physical violence, causing death or injury, or the credible threat of it. -- nm - mara Nov 19, 08:12 1
        
        Yes. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 19, 08:25
Where your disconnect is, is that you were certain it was going to be successful and there was no stopping it. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 07:40
I think that this has played out exactly like most of us expected, with a criminal trying to commit crimes but getting rejected. - David Nov 19, 07:36 2
