Yeah. You have to realize that the Soviets shot more of their men in the back then they shot the enemy from the front. Add to this their current rep for using nerve gas on friendlies and really, the Reds don't need enemies.
Overwhelm them with numbers; Jedi aren't superhuman or anything, and outnumber them enough and they can be defeated. We know this already, remember the Battle of Geonosis? The Clone Wars?

Err, sorry, but it is PRECISELY the point, which is what the films show.
Their powers don't mater- throw an entire war machine against the Jedi and they will be curshed- unless they have their own army to back them of course.
The end of AOTC showed exactly this- that conventional forces WILL overwhelm the Jedi. I am very surprised you would possibly think otherwise.
Jedi are good- but simply not that good. Mace made it very clear that they could NOT defend the Republic against war.

I suppose it would depend on what time period of Jedi we are talking about. KOTOR Era and previous seemed to have more numbers maybe close to 30,000 or so IMO. Plus ancient Jedi lived in a time when War was common so they IMO would be a far better fightning force then the PT Jedi which pretty much sucked in general. Also Ancient Jedi seemed to command far more power (examples: Nomi Sunrider, Master Vodo, Master Thon, and even Revan when he was a Jedi was apperently quite powerful) than the movie era Jedi.
Probably because the EU Jedi AREN'T movie Era, then their abilities are blown way out of proportion since they aren't confined to the movie scripture.

What Tangible said. The EU Jedi are blown out of proportion. Also, the ancient Jedi have the Sith on the opposite side, not in the government they're protecting.
