    What worries me is that Zimbabwe is a CLASSIC case for regime change.
    If Obama gets in, he really is likely to do just that.
    The US has a terrible record of going in on a do-gooding spree only to get enmeshed in wars like Vietnam and Iraq which are unwinnable without killing 90% of the population.
    Obama is only first generation American and his Dad is African. Other African states feel a bit guilty that Mugabe is such an animal - behaving abominably. Makes them look bad by association of race.
    Can't you just see it ? The US invades Zimbabwe easily enough but is stuck there for decades wasting public money and lives and achieving nothing !!
    People, which includes politicians are very slow to learn.
    Yet another stone age country whips the USA - pathetic really !!

    Almost comical

    Stone Age huh?

    Whats stone age here, a crazed dictator with his generals oppressing and starving their own kind or in the most advanced country in the world that could if it wanted to, avoid its own citizens going hungry, sleeping on streets and having access to medical care? But no their government wont do it because they are helping the poor ?


    Whats the difference here please?

    World leaders certainly have a lot to learn imho.
    It's not only the cream that floats to the top.

    Watch out tyrants of the world - the internet is about !!
