#1 One might think the state of things in Zimbabwe would speak for itself. I guess I miss the obvious stuff.

#2 Aparently thuggery is the accepted norm, they're applauding proves it.

#3 From the neighborhood point of view the brink is always preferable to total collapse. Unsustainable, immoral, but preferable.

#4 One condition of any aid to any African country should be withdrawal of support(material, "moral" or otherwise) from the Mugabe regime.

Perhaps it wouldn't make a substantial difference, but it's the principle of the thing.

#6 Just when you think Arab tribalism is this world's scourge, African leaders meet the challenge and prove just who invented the original concept. Each and every one of Mugabe's fan club should be garrotted slowly and then left on a street corner for the dogs to eat.

#7 "British military commanders are reviewing contingency plans for the evacuation of up to 22,000 Britons from Zimbabwe,.....which included seeking help from neighbouring countries". (From the article above).

Well, I have no faith in the British plan, if that is what they call a plan. Most Zimbabwean British Passport holders will have taken the gap by the end of the year, from what I can gather. The ones that stay will be old Rhodesians who have decided to die there.

(Sorry, both articles go together, only one comment).
