The world let Mugabe terrorize the whites, murder them and drive them away. It was racist but no one would point that out. Now with the results of his actions reaching their climax the western world will be called racist if they don't provide support... As Mugabe is attempting to do in this case.
It is time the world faced the reality of Africa and especially Zimbabwe. Colonialism has been gone for two generations. Things are back to where they were before colonialism. African are free of Western rule and have independent governments that can find their own way without our help. They need to do so.
If Mugabe is bad, his African neighbors need to intervene, not the UN or the U.S. If he is acceptable to his neighbors, then what happens in Zimbabwe is their responsibility. Fifty years ago the cry was "Africa for the Africans"... What they do with it is their challenge and their responsibility.
