The point is what? We should ignore the Iraqis' wishes and stay to "fix" the problems our military is causing? It's wrong for the US military to be inside Iraq. Nothing else matters.

As if they wanted the US military to "free" them. That underlying assumption is simply wrong. No amount of time will make it right.Arabs don't hate us because we haven't done enough to them. They hate us because of our assumption that we have the right to invade their countries in the first place. We don't. We have to get out of their lands. That is the only solution.

It's not aimed at Mugabe it's aimed at those who will be allowing the weapons through - those who have the power to stop 77 tons of weapons that according to one UK paper at least were ordered 3 days after the election. That is when Mugabe knew the game was up.
