““Particularly, strategists will need to answer many fundamental questions, such as these: • What are the main obstacles to achieving freedom? • What factors will facilitate achieving freedom? • What are the main strengths of the dictatorship? • What are the various weaknesses of the dictatorship? • To what degree are the sources of power for the dictatorship vulnerable? • What are the strengths of the democratic forces and the general population? • What are the weaknesses of the democratic forces and how can they be corrected? • What is the status of third parties, not immediately involved in the conflict, who already assist or might assist, either the dictatorship or the democratic movement, and if so in what ways?””
