Easier way to defeat Smith...

Why doesn't Neo just go to the big speak machine and say 'I'll stop smith if you let zion live' or something like that and just enter the source? That would reset the matrix and therefore eradicate Smith, huh?

Is Smith the main problem, though?

I thought the Matrix itself was what was ... err... "bad"...

or summin'...

that may be what has to be done...we are speculating that the ONE will die (sacrifice) to save the humans

uh huh

couldnt he just through cookies at smith?

no, cause smith is probably still so fast, that he could eat all the cookies neo could throw at him, while in the air...
