#Cambodia "What collapses a regime is when insiders turn against it. So long as police, army and senior officials think they have more to lose by revolution than by defending a regime, then even mass protests can be defied and crushed. Remember Tiananmen Square.

But if insiders and the men with guns begin to question the wisdom of backing a regime - or can be bought off - then it implodes quickly.....

Graceful exits are rare in revolutions, but the offer of secure retirement can speed up and smooth the change." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12431231
