An Africa dictator destroys his own people and you are mad at the USA and the UK for not stopping it?
Just out of idle curiosity, may I ask you to name the day the USA was silently elected as the revered World Police Force?
Where is the UN?
Perhaps Bolton could discover a reason to shed precious USA blood in Africa to save them from themselves, perhaps not.
BTW, what does it say on your DD-214?

What are we doing in Iraq? Or elsewhere in the world for that matter? I want to know where the UN is but if the US is going to stick their nose in Iraq and Bosnia, then why not in Zimbabwe?

"The Zimbabwean government has spent the past few years targeting white farmers, those with land and wealth; now it seems to be picking on the poor." This is a lession for the left to learn, the government they would want to create to level the playing field will eventually turn on the people they most think deserve protection. I was talking to someone in China, they said the government must take care of the miners in the country. They were shocked when I told them that the government hadn't paid them for two months but they are still required to go back into the mines.

We are in Iraq because Iraq under Hussein was heavily involved in sponcering terrorism against the USA, had WMDs, and did not honor the terms of the truce negotiated after the last time we went to war with them.
Are you really so ignorant of recent history and incapable of connecting any of the dots?
Are you also going to pretend to be shocked when/if we actually get around to attacking France?
What about when we target Mexico and/or Canada?
Rent a clue.

I don't think the US was silently elected. I believe George Bush stood up and said that 'We will stand with those who stand for Democracy'. Those that have stood for Democracy are in the process of being slaughtered - I do think the US (and many other countries) has a moral obligation to step in and stop these atrocities.
The UN has proved to be ineffective in any crisis. To rely on them to do what is right is folly!

Thanks to Anthony Kennedy, who clearly relied on (Zimbabwe's) "international law" for his eminent domain support, we may soon see such scenes as this in states around the nation, as "undesireable" homes and people are removed in favor of condos and offices to repay bribing fatcat developers.

I am from Zim - my parents are missionary doctors who are risking there lives to help others and see the destruction first hand.
And contrary to your misinformed post - I believe caring is not just stating concern but taking direct action. My frustration with the situation is that my action, and the action of many others, is having no real effect.
Please - get off your backside and try help! It really is a horrific situation and good people need to stand up and stop doing nothing!

At present, my outrage is being focused on the leftists in America, more specifically - every Friday night outside the gates of Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where I stand with other friends in the DC Chapter - against the bloodthirsty
(expletive deleted) who are waging psychological warfare against our gravely wounded soldiers and their families at the same time they are sending funds to the insurgents who are killing and maiming our soldiers and Iraqis. Until I am able to win the war against those
(expletive deleted), I will not take on another battle. My focus will remain on supporting our troops and fighting the enemies within our own borders.
Perhaps you can take the lead on this one?
To: sarasmom
Who the hell are you calling ignorant? You need to get a clue yourself. Don't insult me and expect an answer. Have a nice day.

No one cares. Just look at the responses in this thread alone.

The US may eventually get around to doing something, but we took over a decade and hundreds of thousands were slaughtered under Hussein before we did anything in Iraq. Why can't the people of Zimbabwe stand up to Mugabe and bring his reign to an end. It may be bloody, but it will also be bloody if the people of Zimbabwe wait on the US or UN to do anything.

unfortunately - you are very right. Time and time again we see hundreds of thousands being killed in Africa - the world just shrugs its shoulders. What a shame!

LOL!
Ignorance is easily corrected by education.
Stupidity is not.
My mistake was believeng you were merely ignorant.
I am sorry you were offended!

Amazing I used to like you as a freeper but I'm not stupid and don't take being called as such lightly. Yes you've offended me if that makes you happy. Clearly it does something any person should find disturbing. Hope you enjoy the feeling.

Pres. Bush has thrown MANY of OUR $$$$ towards helping 'your' country.
Those $$$$ have NOT gone towards helping the oppressed. The $$$$ have ABETTED the oppressors.
The good people of the USA ARE doing something, every time the Pres. takes our tax $$$ to send to your country, for NO results.
How' bout if the good people of YOUR country, stand up to start doing to help themselves?????
How 'bout if your good people stand up/stand TOGETHER to FIGHT BACK?????
And, if your good people think that's an unreasonable expectation....then write to Oprah.
