I agree with Skybird, this is meaningless. Before you know it thos weapons will end up killing U.S soldiers. And there is no doubt in my mind that this idea has been strongly lobbied by the arms industry.

The only "good" reason for doing this from a US perspective is that you hope for a big war down there after the US has pulled out, thereby giving the terrorist organistations other things to occupy their minds. But of course this will send the oilprices skyrocketing, and in the long term that may be worse.. I don't know
