Perhaps international pressure, true condemnation with some anti-corruption dictates from countries giving aid (and hopefully assistance to opposition) can remove murders who see political advantage to murdering and starving people who vote against them. You see they did try to legally rid themselves of Mugabe but he brought in Ghaadfi's terror squads to train local thugs. He worked the electorate over pretty good in advance of the vote and when he saw the people still planned to go to the polls and vote him out, he stuffed ballot boxes, intimidated and murdered voters, closed down polling places and literally stole what he could not win. Other African leaders need to condemn and remove their support for his presidency, but most have not. They too must be convinced to abandon Mubabe or face international rejection and dismissed as leaders. We should acknowledge and show the people who are trying (they number in the millions) to establish a democratic government, that we will stand with them.

Almost sounds like Al Gore. Or maybe Hillary when she runs.

Well said, CW. If posters would make the effort to learn the facts, they would not resort to cliches and bogus beliefs in commenting on this tragedy. Zimbabweans have done what the gurus of the West have advised them in resorting to the ballot box, not the gun.

Well, it's not working.

Do the savants have any other suggestions meeting the criteria for politically correct responses, or may they just off this mad tyrant, Mad Bob ?
