I disagree that that will be the response, but you should be willing to allow one group of people to fight fire with fire.
But generally, it has been found a much better solution to fight fire with water, and this is why I am not convinced of the ideological effectiveness of AP, although I don't doubt it's operationnal effectiveness at all. I will take that sentence only slightly out-of-(specific)-context and make a still pertinent remark about it: This is *exactly* what Jim Bell, because of his opinions, envision to do with the AP system.

If by "operation effectiveness" you mean some people will be killed, I agree. I also agree with the fire/water comment (maybe in more ways than one!); my comment related to my belief that AP-supporters shouldn't complain about especially draconian measures taken against them by governments, given their modus operandi.

Having been a firefighter for about 4 years, I can say that for small fires water works quite a bit better. For larger fires (over a hundred acres or so) setting a backfire, or burning out the fuel in the direction the fire is probably going to go is a hell of a lot easier than hauling millons and millions of gallons or blood^h^h^h^h^h water.
