Now that we know

BBC NEWS | Africa | Veterans ready to fight - Mugabe
Mr Mugabe was quoted by the Herald newspaper as saying the veterans had asked approval to take up arms but he had dissuaded them.
They said Zimbabwe was won 'by the barrel of the gun' and should not be surrendered by a vote, he said.

Now that we know what it'll take to 'fix' Zimbabwe, what are we waiting for? If the barrel of a gun is all these guys understand, maybe it's time to reintroduce them to the business end of the gun.
Then again, the War of Rhodesian Succession (or whatever we're calling it) was almost 30 years ago. So unless the fighters were 8 years old back then, they're going to be pushing senior status.
