"Does any of this remind you of another little war???"

No. If you wish to see every conflict through Rhodesian tinted glasses, you won't see clearly. Iraq is not Vietnam, not Rhodesia, not Malaysia, not the Philipines during the Huks, not South Africa, not Korea in 1950, not anything but Iraq.

Was it the deaths or the sanctions and pressure from the west which liberated Rhodesia??

"If the whites of Rhodesia had shown a strong commitment to racial justice in the 1940's and on, I suspect that Zimbabwe would be a stellar example (positively) in Africa. There are some lessons for the USA's meddling in Iraqi that might be gleaned from such histories."

Let me see if I have this right. Your (probably) lilly white A$$ was oppressing Black people in Rhodesia, and some how that has bearing on the US liberating Iraq from a dictator, Saddam; rebuilding the country, and allowing the people of Iraq to vote?? You Are a Liberal; all mixed up.
