Invade Zimbabwe? Seems we all haven't had enough of Iraq

I am mindful of what John F. Kennedy said about situations like this. He said where it regards a political situation, the wrong man in power, military action is NOT the solution.

Too bad George W. Bush and Tony Blair did not study some of John Kennedy's sage remariks.

Personally, I fail to see how any situation such as the horror in Zimbabwe can be changed by the "international community" when that community has a double standard and in many instances like this back the dictator.

That is true of Mugabwe's buddy Ngueme Obiang of Equatorial Africa, an even more murderous dictator. Recently, Condoleeza Rice threw her arms around his shoulds and declared, "This is a good friend of the United States."Sure! Because oil, lots of it, was recently discovered in this tiny nation. Now it is awash with oil and money - and freinds, from the US to China.

I wonder if many in the international community simply sit back and watch in the hope that these monsters will destroy each other and then they can move in and take control of the oil.

No matter the reason, like Darfur, it is the poor citizens who suffer from unimaginable atrocities. Chad is another similar story.

So invasion? For what? To do what? Grab the oil when the two main protagonists have destroyed each other.

The world should bow its collective head in shame.
