General Strike in Zimbabwe today?

GENERAL STRIKE:
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change has today called for a general strike in Zimbabwe starting tomorrow (Tuesday, 15 April 2008) after the high court refused to order the immediate release of the presidential election results. Take Action!
I receive these disturbing pictures from the following source

As you sit there with a free hand, click on the site and register your disgust. Although the years have past, how can I ever forget the wonderful nights, sat in a Ndebele kraal, sipping Chubuku or Shake Shake with my warrior comrades, watching the men and women dance in the eerie flickering light of the fire, and listening to Cpl Danny Moyo lead the ensemble in impromptu song
"Oh be - u - tiful R A R
Oh be - u - tiful R A R
I will never forget
That be - u - tiful R A R"
Or watch the pride on the faces of the population as RAR marched through the city to the Sweet Banana.

In Scotland 1500 workers are on strike to protect their pensions. In Zimbabwe the majority of the population will not be allowed that privilege. Again America and Britain will do nothing. I remember the smirking faces with horror as British soldiers forced themselves into our messes and thought they could dictate to a proud, professional army a form of defeatism that is endemic in the UK today. Last year I was at a meeting of the North Wales Royal Marine Association where a Lt Colonel from the RMA boasted of his time in RHODESIA. That areshole went away with his tail between his legs when he was publically told a few home truths.
Having fought with both the British and Rhodesian I make this observation. If you pulled out the Brits from Afghanistan and replaced them with the Rhodesian, the Taliban would be showing the Colonials a much higher degree of respect than they do the Brits. And while the Yanks think they can win hearts and minds from their bombers and out of their tanks, they have an enormous shock waiting for them.

I have nothing but the greatest respect for the young people of the UN who are serving in inhospitable places. But to go out before first light, fight all day only to surrender the ground again as nightfall arrives is a pure recipe for disaster. Either quadruple the number of the combatants, or get out.
