Arm the Opposition!!???

Are you kidding me? This commentator at the Wall Street Journal thinks the best way to resolve the Zimbabwean crisis is to arm the opposition. He writes,

Perhaps the Zimbabwean people would be ready and less afraid if they actually had guns to blaze. They do not lack a passion for freedom; it is the necessary tools to wrest themselves from the yoke of tyranny that they need.

Great; another civil war is exactly what we need right? I wonder if he'd be suggesting that if his family would be caught in the crossfire. I think its very callous to promote further violence as a solution to a political crisis. Look how much democracy that's provided in Iraq.
