I'd say the Iraqi insurgents are pretty much screwing up the "positively identifying themselves with the people" bit, aren't they?

The brutal and murderous Iraqi insurgents, killing Iraqi citizens even as I write this for the crime of wanting to vote, do not match in any way, shape, or form, your luminous and sophomoric fantasy of a popular uprising of The People's Army.

For that matter, neither did the glorious armies of the Marxist revolutions. One hundred million dead. Yeah, the Marxists know something, all right.

Cripes, you probably own a Che T-shirt.

I think everyone else reading these post has already figured it out.
