When you boil it down to the basics, it's their armed forces we're talking about, they should be able to make their own decisions. If we want more help from them, we'll have to sit down, talk, and work out a new plan.
I'm not sure what's so heavy-handed about our tactics at the moment. We're asking for surrender of weapons from militants, and when they don't, we move on them for a while, then try again. For some reason, I don't think this is something that can be settled over tea and crumpets.
