Well in fairness if Zimbabwe does sink into cival war its unlikely to have much of a direct impact on us. Financially the countrys already fucked (so to speak) so theres unlikely to be any economic overspill.
That and the fact Botswana and South Africa are very much for self-policing in terms of preventative diplomacy Zambia is also highly active in African politics. Mozambique's not sop bothered apparently. But there are plenty of folk to step in before Britain gets dragged into direct conflict and the allegiances in place probably make it unlikely that all out war will result. Cival war perhaps - and then its a matter of conscience as to whether or not Britain intervenes.
