It's ok to kill people, as long as they are the same race as you.

Why, cyborg! How realpolitick of you!

He should have gotten the Pinochet treatment in Rome. But I guess that's saved for real criminals, like Rummy, or whoever Amnesty International has in their sights.

And I'm sure AI has issued a report on Zim, but interesting that it hasn't made the front pages, is it not?

I just bypassed cspan and guess who was on with Rumsfeld? Robert Byrd. CLICK! LOL I don't get why Rummy is considered such a criminal but I don't get much of the liberal mindset on anything.

I believe George Bush stood up and said...
The UN has proved to be ineffective in any crisis.

That is PRESIDENT BUSH to you. You expect him to do what YOU think he should do, yet you do not show enough respect to wipe his shoes. If you listen to any news at all, the talk is that our Military is stretched too thin as it is and we are not meeting recruitment goals.

In case you have not noticed the US, UK and Australia are a little tied up at the moment. There are thousands, if not millions, that want to kill us. Why are you not screaming for France, Germany or Russia to get off their arses and do something for a change, besides criticize the US?

Since you brought up the UN, let's discuss those worthless basturds. Why not lobby them to do something, anything aside from raping and pillaging the very masses they are being HIGHLY PAID to care for? Start screaming for Amnasty International, or haven't they returned from their vacation at Club Gitmo.

We have a few problems of our own right here in the good old USA. Very soon you will be seeing the same type photos being taken of a town being bulldozed, but it won't be by Mugabe. It will be in CONNECTICUT. So you see PRESIDENT Bush has a full plate!

Now that is out of the way - I'm terribly sorry for what is happening there. My heart breaks for these people. I wish there was something more we could do right now. Every time the US steps in the masses scream Hubris!!

There are many other countries, as you stated, it is time for them to step up to the plate and start doing something to help those in the world that can not help themselves. We may be the greatest country, but we are not the only country. We are doing the best we can for millions around the world.

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 was wondering when someone would make that connection. I thought the same thing....

... get off your backside and try help

Okay. I'm standing up now. Now what do I do besides recognize that Zim has crumbled because of one man and his philosophy and the Zimbaweans' not "solving" their problem sooner?

The solution is the arm the good guys, IMO, not send money or food to Mugabe and his thugs to "distribute"....

I was thinking the same thing.
They are hearding the folks together and then they will become prisoners and slaves (or will be killed), but as someone said in an earlier post, its OK since Mugabe is not white.

"If they went to Bosnia and Iraq then why not Zimbabwe too?" It is a question I have wondered about as well.

Saddam didn't abide by his post-war resolutions, and he had to be held accountable; he kept shooting at our planes; it looked like he was back to creating and stockpiling WMD; he was supporting terrorists; he was harboring terrorists; there's a lot of oil in Iraq and our country runs on the stuff....

The situation in Zimbabwe is entirely different.

BTW, was your question serious, or merely rhetorical?

No it was serious. I forgot Rwanda too and Vietnam but the question was meant to be thought provoking. I'm not saying Iraq is wrong either. Nevermind though. I wish I never brought it up in the first place. Have a nice day.

Basically this is subtle genocide.

I agree - one well targeted cruise missile might not be a bad idea either...
