Zimbabwe doesn't really take much of a military effort. The most important thing is to get all the neighbors lined up against him. Right now he has the support or tacit support of all the surrounding states including South Africa. Unbelieveable! The Saddams and Mugabes only hang on to their power because the nations controlling UN thru the security council each have their own agendas running against any common and fair senses of this world. And yes, I have 2 boys at 26 and 29. They are in now way weapon or military nuts and would thus never become pro soldiers. Britain and France are both countries which like the US entertain a pro military force. Now what do you believe those guys profession is? They are trained in killing and even worst case getting killed. You like that or not. Good pay, a safe and pampered position in peace times - but risky too, in particular in times of war. I personally don't like that myself, but then again I have very little to say in this crazy world. And in many ways I was very lucky to be born in Sweden and I would never in my life give up my Swedish passport. Neither would my kids. We are quite proud of those. Did you know that Carolus XII of Sweden was the first guy trying an assault on Moskau? With the same result as his followers Napoleon and Hitler, who both believed they could beat history and Ivan. None of them could. Taro
