Zimbabwe in meltdown - UN envoy

Egeland is the same clymer who called us stingy. He's puzzled about Mugabe because like another genius from the UN—our boy Hans Blix—Egeland can't find his own ass with both hands.

It's just a matter of time before the Chinese walk in and take over

The funny thing is Mugabe has been desperately courting the Chinese for a couple of years- ordering his people to learn Chinese, etc. The Chinese have pretty much told him to pound sand. Zimbabwe is such a wreck that it isn't even worth stealing anymore.

No one can help these people until they first decide to help themselves. After decades of seeing massive aid go to Africa, only to see Africa become more corrupt, backward, and dependent and less appreciative, I have compassion fatigue up to my eyeballs.

No more welfare (i.e., my tax dollars) for Africa. The Zimbabweans are going to have to screw up their courage and take Mugabe and his thuggish buddies out and clean up the mess themselves.

(And if I hear Bush "pledge" hundreds of millions to this hellhole, I'm going to go ballistic.)

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

He also said President Robert Mugabe's rejection of tents for hundreds of thousands of people evicted and made homeless this year is "puzzling".

Here is a hint for you -- MUGABE IS A MURDEROUS, INSANE THUG THAT YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT!!

Well? None of us get out of here alive. Even us rich Americans.

"This disastrous eviction campaign was the worst possible thing, at the worst possible time," Mr Egeland said.

"It's a criminal act to bulldoze someone's home who owned their land - there should be prosecutions." ..."and if there aren't...I will be deeply saddened.

These people didn't elect Mugabe, they don't deserve to suffer.

Sorry, but they did. There was also 'campaign' appearances throughout the country during the runup to the election. Apparently noone in Zim thought Mugabe deserved a .308 to the head.

[HardStarboard]

>>>Kill Mugabe.<<<

It would be fine with me if we could arrange to have his own people take care of the problem - and drag his body, and those of his administration, through the streets.

But I do not want America to be seen as the force behind the action; Zimbabwe is Haiti, multiplied 20 times over. Nor do I want the US on the economic hook for a bailout.

If the African "tinpot dictators" are so good at running the UN, lets let them try their hand at "nation building" in their own backyard.!

Don't Worry....Peace Has Come To Zimbabwe

[LtKerst]

After "frank" talks with Mr Mugabe on Tuesday, Mr Egeland said they had agreed that the international community should do more to meet humanitarian needs in Zimbabwe.

Why? It is clear the problem is Mugabe. Let the people throw him out.

[js1138]

cover a terrorist's head with pantyhose and the human rights groups ar all over you. Murder a million Africans at a pop and the U.N. is "troubled."

I suppose terrorists are mostly white, and that makes the difference.

Shmuck, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you -cheap!

"... Kill Mugabe."

As if some other self styled eleven-star general wearing a starched camouflage uniform with golden fringed shoulderboards won't step up to fill the void.

Sure, kill Mugabe. Fine. Just let someone else but the United States do it this time.

The country was far better off as Rhodesia.

[GeronL]

Mr Mugabe's spokesman said Zimbabweans were "not tent people" and they wanted the UN to build permanent homes.

oh please, they obviously know that the US will automatically pay for about 25% of this. That is not the job of the UN, their job is to chat and meet and chat and meet and chat
