What would you prefer they had done?

Push forward with full scale war?
With what?

Surely that would spell the end for thousands of innocent lives – even more devastating than the horrendous deaths and maimings we have seen so far.

This campaign cannot be won for the MDC by force – not now, anyway – the resources are not there.
