Robert Heinlein, in his book, "Starship Troopers" raises the issue of 
what to do to prevent insurrection.  "If you make the wolves the 
guardians of the sheep, it will turn them into sheep dogs."

Yeah, that's how we got Papa Doc Duvalier and the military dictatorships
of too many countries to name.

If you make the wolves into guardians of the sheep, you've made it even
easier for the wolves to prey on the sheep.
