Where you're wrong, well apart from morally, is that nothing changes because one side know they *don't* have to negotiate. They know the military will step in and they'll get their way. Like a spoilt child that has learnt it gets it's way by throwing a tantrum. So the cycle is just perpetuated, which is what you say you don't want.
Remove the coup option and there would have been negotiations. Protests and pressure till there is, not protests and pressure just for the sake of forcing their way.
That is the way out. This is just perpetuating the cycle, screwing the lid down tighter every time till the vessel can't stand it anymore.
How do you feel about the fact that you can support an idea openly but not criticise it openly? Very moral? I can't argue with you my friend. You have force on your side. For that reason I'll shaddup forthwith, not because of respect but because of force.
If you want the high ground, never argue a case that may not be criticised. There be oppression.
