Everyone is criticizing Obama in this thread, but do they think sanctions against Zimbabwe are a bad idea? I don’t want to send U.S. troops there, but if sanctions can topple Mugabe, I favor them.

What do you think they'll accomplish? The place is a total basket case. There isn't much of an economy left. The only thing you can hit would be charitable donations -- and most of those get stolen by the ruling clique. What is the threat that sanctions pose?

When have sanctions worked? Against Sadaam we had sanctions and a no-fly zone and we still had to go in a topple him.

What sanctions against any country/leader have ever worked?

With Democrats in the WH and controlling congress, and the Pentagon's new African Command, look for US troops to be deployed somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa in the next 4 years. Zimbabwe, Dharfur... take your pick. It'll start off as a "humanitarian" mission, but evolve into another Somalia.
