No offense was intended.
Anyway, I simply pointed out that the Janjaweed recruits largely from the "hut-dwelling" population. Meaning that they are probably cabale although lacking in several areas, IF someone decided it was a good idea to train them, which the Janjaweed has, that's all.
I don't disagree with your assessment.
And again, let me state, I did not say this is the "solution" but is not a terrible idea. On the other hand, I forget if I said give them guns - as in the international community, or they should be allowed to have them for their defense, irregardless of the donar? Either way, I wasn't saying hand them out randomly to anyone who wants one and send them on their way. Probably sounded like that at first, though.
I have no problem with responsible gun ownership. I have no problem with supplying the weapons. My main point is it doesn't just end with dropping off a crate of AK-47's and some ammo.
The logistics and training involved entails hands-on, boots on the ground" trainers. That's if we want to do it responsibly.
I'm just wondering if those who want to drop the crate of rifles are aware of the latter requirement, and are okay with it.
