DO-OVER: Hides a bald spot.

This will only have a bad ending. Any missionaries(of any flavor) who haven’t made arrangements to leave quickly will end up as part of the UN memorial service, along with hundreds of thousands of Zimbabwe’s citizens.

The UN will be great at putting together the Zimbabwe Relief Concert. The headliners should be legion.

Mugabe is the Wimpy of Africa!

“I would gladly give you an election on Tuesday, for a coalition government today!“

I submit we in the West have been seriously miscalculating and misinterpreting the enigma that is Africa. As we saw in the Rwandan massacres, the fundamental political force is tribal. The brief interlude of colonialism did nothing more than impose arbitrary borders on the continent without considering the long term consequences.

Yes, Zimbabwe is a basket case that will take years to recover and the likelihood of returning to prosperity is increasingly slim. Robert Mugabe is nothing more than a tribal king who rules with an iron fist. Morgan Tsvangirai may well turn out to be cut from the same cloth. Nothing is clear when it comes to resolving the problem.

We will know Mugabe is really smart when he invites (pays) Carter to come in talk about how it is all the fault of the Jews and America. Then Carter can remind us of how it is better to be able to talk to a dictator ‘that speaks for all the people’ like Mugabe, than to waste time speaking with al of those pesky people demanding liberty.
I am sure Chavez can advise Mugabe on the fine points of this, like how much to pay Carter, and how to pose as if you are revolutionary seeking liberation, even as you steal the same. Afterall, look at what a few pieces of silver from Chavez to Carter did for Venezuela.

How about dropping him naked, sans parachute of course?

Indy Conservative on April 24, 2008 at 7:12 AM

Now that’s an ugly thought!

I know.

How about making him wear a thong just to cover the ugliness?

If the opposition had not been clever enough to go out and photograph those election boards, the false results would already have been released.

This guy should find a false science to promote, win a Nobel and meanwhile….. he’ll always be able to claim he really won the election along with his crooked supporters.

Instead of invading, send in a B-2 and drop a bomb on his HQ. Hell Zimbabwe has no air force, you could send in a C-130 and drop a MOAB on him. Why waste groud troops if we’re not going to occupy?

Mugabe could be taken out quite easily.

dogsoldier on April 24, 2008 at 7:17 AM

Why you wanna take him?

Why the U.S. should intervene while the rest of the world and especially the African Nations do nothing?

We have enough problems, we brought them to ourselves, do we need more?

Let them deal with their poop.

Let’s clean up our mess first.

But I would say if Christians living in a Muslim country need to be defended, then I’m all for an attack, but not in the case of Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe’s state-run press offered a compromise. Instead of actually releasing the real vote counts and treating it like a real election, dictator Robert Mugabe would offer to partner with Morgan Tsvangirai in a “national unity” government until another fresh election could be held.

Isn’t that the same offer that Carter, Clinton and Gore have insisted upon?

You sort of expect this kind of thing in places like Zimbabwe. But what excuse do AMERICANS have for not understanding that the difference between Democracy and every other form of government isn’t holding elections – anyone can do that. The only real difference is that in a Democracy, a leader must be ready to quit trying to run things after his term is over.

It’s as appropriate for our so-called “Democratic” Party to award themselves that self-appellation as it is for the man who comprises the government of North Korea to refer to his regime as “The Democratic People’s Republic.”

Mugabe could be taken out quite easily. Apparently we have no leadership and no courage to do what’s right anymore. Oh unless a liberal is in the white house. Then and only then is it ok to unilaterally invade another country like Bosnia or bomb remote targets like aspirin factories.

Nah, it won’t work. He could use his clothes as a parachute.

Why would he want to remain president of such a throughly farked up country? The fact that he’s the one who farked it up notwithstanding.

Unless Robert Mugabe has Uranium to sell to Iran, I think the U.S. should move on and forget about invading other nations for a while at least, let’s say 150 years, until we recover from Iraq.
