Nice to see you took the time to form a well thought out and concise argument
OK, if you need it spelled out for you - you asked for it. :) "The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." --- Thomas Jefferson Concise enough for you? You may also want to investigate the relative importance of communications and armaments in Ghandi's struggle for a free India, the US civil rights movement, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. That's 3 examples of change mediated by communications without rifles. Then there's Darfur - an example of rifles without communications infrastructure. Oh, and as Bryan said... 'PLONK'.
