I'm not saying he's more or less ignorant than I am. I'm simply saying that he is clearly and objectively an ignorant person. One of the steps we took to stop lion hunting was to have airlines ban the transportation of lion caracasses. That's a pretty easy thing to do. Do you think there's anything similar we could to do to improve the human rights situation in Zimbabwe? Can Delta refuse to transport Mugabe? Will that help?

It simply IS ignorance at the root of his childish complaints. It's ignorance to the fact that one problem - lions - is of a vastly smaller scale than another problem - human rights issues in Zimbawabe - and thus the solutions to said problem are far, far easier to apply. In short, we want to help where we actually CAN help. But decades of failed US intervention have proven one thing time and time again: our help never sticks until you start helping yourself.
