Who will send arms to the opposition party so they can take their own country back from a tyrant?
200,000 people homeless, wonder when they will storm the presidential palace and lynch this son of a b**tch?
Kofi? UN? Where are you? Another business luncheon with Kojo?
shades of Pol Pot
This is such a shame. Where is Goofy Annan when you need him?
not us. we are already sending money, and being asked for more. that money is being thrown away, no need to throw away the lives of our soldiers along with it. if we bombed to stop this, we would be blamed for everything happening. best to just let it play out.
Who stopped the craziness in Cambodia? Nobody.
Who stopped the bloodshed between the Tutsis and the Hutus? Nobody.
Who's stopping the craziness in Darfur? Nobody.
I wouldn't hold my breath on this one, either.
This has been going on for years and years now. It is not in the national interest for the US to get involved. The only time the National government involves itself in these matters, is when pressured by public opinion. Public opinion is still run by the MSM, believe it or not. While they applied pressure for Somalia, and Haiti; they have been silent on Zimbabwe; the question is why? ... and the answer is ... Mugabe is a ---
SRN News at 8:00 is talking about it...the U.N. has demanded that the zim government stop evicting poor people...said it was the same as aparteid....and you know that if the U.N. is on the job....Zimbabwe is lost.
Someone should shoot this guy, quick.
We sat back and allowed Pol Pot to do this in Cambodia. What makes you think we will do anything different this time?
And what is worse, this benign (arguably malignant) neglect may be the best course of action. If we save the present victims, even remove Mugabe and his administration, then the present victims will just do the same thing to their oppressors.
Alas, it is just Africans being African. And Africa was, and still is a land of tribes, not nations. Not surprisingly, they continue to act like tribal natives, not citizens of a nation state.
Where's the international outrage? Where are the EURO's on this?
If the people hadn't given up their guns, they could have done it themselves.
NEVER, EVER give up your guns. The day that a politician makes the ownership of guns illegal, especially military style guns, is the day you should hunt that politician down and kill them because eventually, what has happened in Rhodesia could happen to you.
I bet there are some nice rooms at the Presidential palace. Maybe these newly homeless people should got there and move in.
Pol Pot - call your office.
Where's Amnesty International? Where's the UN? Where's International cANSWER? Where's the National Lawyers Guild? Where's Human Rights Watch? Where's Springsteen, Sarandon, Michael Moore, Sean Penn? Where's Medea Benjamin, Gael Murphy, Ramsey Clark, Brian Becker, Luke? Where are the HUMAN SHIELDS???
How about a team of snipers? The only thing a tinpot Stalin like Mugabe deserves is a double tap to the skull.
