we do it with elections and they do it by smacking their heads off.
the only problem in that is that most of these coups are not wanted from the majority and the coup makers are financed from other countries with interests there.
this is exactly what we see now in syria.
on one interest site they call the insurgents "terrorists" (what is true in the main) and on the other interest site "oppressed people" (what would be than a part of their culture because it is since 100ds or 1000ds of years like that and nobody ever cared).

Coups are not just a few people. They need the support and force of a large army and police force. North Vietnamese were willing to die for a leader who hated the US more than he loved his own people, who wanted to die to achieve the leader's dream. Same with the Germans, N. Koreans, Japanese, Russians, Chinese and nearly every other war that rewards the rich and kills the poor in huge numbers.
After 1,000s to millions of soldiers die, they go back to the same factory or shop to work for the same wages. Or in these days they start buying goods in the country that was once killing them. While the rich share the profits from the war.
What makes that speech any different from the one that someone should have made 4,000 years ago? Except in those days, the Kings were in the front line. With the handpicked best troops surrounding them.
Wars very rarely reward the men fighting them.
