All forms of power - even based on the consensus of the democratic system - react when they are being attacked, or when those who exercise power become a target.

Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled, either by a power within them, or by a power without them; either by the word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible, or by the bayonet.
