Ty Judith. Looks like the 12-step Zulus have broken the thin red line,

and this is becoming our Isandhlwana. Never mind, HTG-12-step-free can

be our Rorke's Drift, and they will yet have their Ulundi... (*)

(*) Isandhlwana was the battle in which the Zulus destroyed an entire

British column of 1770 men. Later they attacked a mission station at

Rorke's Drift - big mistake, for it was defended by a small band of a

warrior race as fierce as they - Welshmen - and they were repulsed

after numerous assaults. Isandhlwana is remembered as a disastrous

British defeat, but it was a Pyrrhic victory for the Zulus, who took

huge losses that broke the back of the main Zulu army. Ulundi was the

Zulu capital at which the reinforced British destroyed the last

significant Zulu resistance.
