You count me in too. I just wonder how that guy in Zimbabwe can go on with his destructive game. He doesn't even have nukes or the Chinese next door holding their hands over him. When do you volunteer? BTW, do you have any children of age you can contribute to the mission(s)? ... same for you Elroy. You guys don't know what the hell you are talking about. This one mission alone is destroying the military and bringing the hatred of the world on us. How long would you be able to sustain this perennial war mission of yours? Get serious...it took the US a couple of hundred years to get to where we are and look at the problems we still have... a few decades a go a "higher authority" such as the one you would claim, might have targeted us to cure a few of our own ciivil and human rights issues. Geez... Al

Re: I just wonder how that guy in Zimbabwe can go on with his destructive game. [Robert Mugabe] doesn't even have nukes or the Chinese next door holding their hands over him. Have no clue why the Brits or the French - or both together - haven't taken him out long ago. Perhaps I can clue you in on the French.... They aren't going to pip you at the post over Zimbabwe because 1) austral Africa never belonged to France's African turf and 2) the Pentagon is damfool enough to set up another Abu Ghraib in Africa --get the picture? Footages of white US troops abusing and torturing black prisoners in some jungle Abu Ghraib will overtax US public opinion, won't it? Ditto with Venezuela. I guess that's the main drawback for the Disneyesque Gulag: it's too racist to send its military mess around in Latin America and Africa (and Asia) --and eunuchs like Condi Rice or some black general won't be enough to defuse an African Abu Ghraib scandal.... Tough shit, huh? Gus
