Excellent recall Constable Clipcock.
The current situation could definitly parallel the Mau Mau occurrances in Kenya.
That was my point. As you point out morality has nothing to do with politics as the U.S. State Department activities have historically shown. I flew in Africa out of Lusaka Zambia in the 70's for a local charter company (Prestonair) and the local u.s. embassy unofficially financed many charter flights for UNITA (Dr. Savimbe) which I flew into places like Benguela Bay, Luso and other places that had no name. They preferred the services of the american pilot assuming some sort of u.s. loyalty and a closed mouth. Besides additional pay for my services they would pay for "any" photos I managed to take along the way in Angola. The politics were incredible. Also saw, on many occasions, unmarked DC-4's that were supposedly based in Zaire and supportiing UNITA, flown by u.s. pilots. Additionally the British supplied, through some bogus corporation, a HS-125 that was made available to Savimbi. It was based next door to me in Lusaka and flown by Brits. It was quite a circus with the Chineese backing the FNLA and the Russians backing the MPLA along with the u.s. support of UNITA. Check the Luanda papers through the internet and you'll see they are still fighting and slaughtering.
