Students had tried doing small tasks like organizing traffic a few years ago, they were cracked down on and it worked in Bangledesh

The fear was that they would go from volunteering to correct the flow of traffic to organizing for something political

This time the students were successful

I'm not saying there are no external forces at play, but the domestic desires appear to have been the major force here

Sadly now, there are numerous groups attempting to manage the chaos and come out on top, while the poor and weak suffer

De Gaulle had pushed nuclear as a national French pride issue and managed to get it done

Otherwise everyone is too scared

I would like to add in:

Fuck Tony Blair
