Dear Ravi
Anna Hazare was an actor hired to play a certain role, for which he
was well paid and he played his part fairly well. Of course later he
ostensibly developed a "conscience" and supposedly refused to accept
part of his payment when it was taken to him in a suitcase at Ralegan
Siddhi.
All the great classical military theorists like Clausewitz would
support you insofar that for an ARMY with overwhelming force a first
attack against poorly fortified positions is indicated.
BUT, we are NOT an ARMY (in the classical sense), so we wont follow
your advice just yet, thank you. We are not entrenched and can flow /
melt away when attacked.
