Bro Ams,
Perhaps the result of poor structuting on my part. The concluding statement
in the pargraph refers directly to the first statement of that paragraph:

Thirdly, my case that I should not suggest to Gambians to stage a peaceful
protest comes from a simple moral predicament. Indeed peaceful protests as a
prelude to velvet revolutions do sometimes work. Yet while I share your
recently expressed enthusiam (and that of Brother Musa Jeng) about the
triumph of democracy in Georgia, I must say that Gambia is neither Georgia,
nor Bolivia; infact not even Zimbabwe. I would be much more comfortable in
encouraging Gambians to take to the streets in peaceful protest if I were to
be there with them.
