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!

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.

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.

My friend I think some brave,intrepid souls need to take matters into their own hands. Do you know what I mean? Don't wait for help because IT IS NOT COMING. I wish I could be over there helping in the dirt with the brave men (and women) standing up to this tyrant.

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"....
