IMHO, in order for this to work we must have following igredients:
- Well researched plan that is made by cool heads during "peacetime" that has best chance of working.
- Mutual trust between government and citizens: citizens believe that plan is for their best and government believe that citizens will do their part without resorting to force.
- Government that is willing to waste an opportunity to look "decisive" and let boring scientists do their job instead.
