To admit that Mugabe is a murderous dictator would be to admit that the events that led to his rise in power were a mistake.

I was always under the impression that he was one of the greats in the same league as Che, Castro, Arafat and Chaves. I never got the impression that he was a thug that was ruining his country for personal gain and glory. Don’t forget he was legally elected and continues to get reelected time after time. He must be doing something right.

Someone please remind me…

Just exactly what is the role of the UN in African affairs or anywhere else in the world for that matter. I’m having a hard time figuring this out.

Someone please tell me why we give them prime New York property, money, security, etc etc…..

Its role is to support and reinforce dislike of the USA while trying to redistribute the wealth of the USA to others. As a side activity they also try to bring the USA completely under their control by making us feel guilty about, well pretty much everything we do, have or say.

The left is incapable of admitting error. They will continue to pretend that nothing is wrong until the last innocent is dead.

Will he concede? Will he accept a smooth transition?

Hopefully he will. But most likely he won’t. And we all know the UN won’t intervene. What will happen to Zimbabwe?

The ugly truth is that Mugabe will almost certainly rig the election results,

He rigged the first round and still lost. Why didn’t he just make himself the winner? This is going to be interesting. June 27. The world will be watching…hopefully.

pilamaye:Adding to your point,as the UN operates,
5 years from now,we will find what kind
of UN scam they were running,if any!

However,the UN has an excellent scam record
as in Koff’s son,with the infamous “oil for
food scam” with Iraq!

So,Is the UN a social club! jus sayin ! :)

How could this guy be so naive?

I’m guessing it’s that people (like the UN) have taught them that the UN is all powerful, all wise. They haven’t had exposure to the Western world to know otherwise.

And again I thought that the UN was formed to
use its teeth if necessary to deal with these
Dictators like Saddam,and I know, what teeth!

Also interesting,is that the Liberal Party normaly
says it cares about third world countries,and not a
peep from the Liberal leadership on this one,and
during a election cycle to boot!!

Just exactly what is the role of the UN in African affairs or anywhere else in the world for that matter. I’m having a hard time figuring this out.

And even if there is some sort of international move to censure Mugabe, it will not last. For the simple reason that too many of those very same “reformers” secretly (or not so secretly) admire Mugabe. To paraphrase the late, great Graham Chapman re the Piranha Brothers (Doug and Dinsdale), Mugabe does what they can only dream of doing. Their response to him is precisely what it was to Saddam Hussein;

Who cares if he’s slaughtering his own people en masse and at random? He’s just acting as a True Socialist Great Leader should!

As for Mr. Tsavangirai, I fear he will become the Benigno Aquino of Zimbabwe. Make of that what you will.
