There is absolutely no guarantee that the next Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot is going to be at the head of our government. While many would prefer to go the Ghandi-route, I don't think your chances of survival would be very good.

When I was working as a seasonal employee, I had a co-worker from Vietnam. He worked for the City in order to put money into the hotel he owns in Vietnam. At any rate, he fought for the South Vietnamese while the United States was involved in the conflict and told of the torture techniques used by Communist forces once the conflict had been decided (he wasn't fortunate to leave with the Americans). He also told how people started to "disappear." To emphasize his point, he knocked on the wall we happened to be standing next to and said, "This is what you would hear.

I warm old hurts

         filtering through my windows.

Hope emerges from the abyss
    formed of lost wishes--
While the pain
    dries like rain,
        sweetened with honey kisses.
