Robert Mugabe has been a tyrant in what once was the bread basket of Southern Africa for over 20 years. He has tormented all who oppose him. He has Thrown his country in a economic landslide. I suggest that there is no oil therefore no benefit for America to do anything. What do you think?

Think about it, Peewee. I'm serious -- REALLY THINK about it.
The Zimbabwean people got themselves into this mess. It's their country. Why can't the people of Zimbabwe rid themselves of thier own dictator. Did the French require assistance to rid themselves of their king? No. Did the Chinese? The Russians?
Why should the Zimbabweans need outside assistance? When you ask a question like this (whether you realize it or not) you're actually making a judgment that these people cannot fend for themselves. Someone has to do it for them. Do you think the Zimbabweans are children? If not, then why shouldn't they handle their own problems.
If we've learned anything from Iraq it's that "National Liberation" movements won't work unless they're internally driven. If the Zimbabwean poeple want to get rid of the moster they created -- let them do it.

Why should we keep throwing money away to try and change the world? It usually falls into the wrong hands and we are worse off than before. Let the world solve some of their own problems and take a good look at ourselves. Remember that old quote "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime." I can't remember who said it, but it was the basis of the PEACE CORP. What ever happened to the Peace Corp, aside from some of the participants being murdered and raped? You can't help people who want you to do it all. Or just want your money and don't want to be bothered with you. I am afraid I am getting cynical.

Why doesnt the rest of the world do something? When the USA helps we are called the world police and bully but when we do nothing people bash the USA for not doing anything. Its a no-win situation.

I guess the US administration has finally learned that it can't be the world policeman. It tried in Korea, it tried in Vietnam, it's still trying in Iraq, but it's failed every time.
Then again, perhaps it's just because there are no American interests worth the trouble in Zimbabwe, which doesn't have any oil reserves.

If we went there the Liberals of the world would scream "why does America think it is the world police?" And Have protests and burn our flag. There was no oil in Korea or vietnam or granada or the panama canal.

No oil (middle east) and no vast water supply (Guarani Aquifer) and not needed as a strategic airbase. I think Zimbabwe is low on the list for "help."

No commercial benefit to the US therfore America develops a severe dose of ignorance.

Please do not encourage the USA, haven't they done enough damage round the world? No matter how bad Mugabe is, you DO NOT WANT the USA in there to make matters worse.
Use your brains, man, use your brains

Why should the USA get involved? Are we the world's police?
