Whats the situation in zimbabwe? Why cant we just send a sniper over there to take that evil **** out?

Question

It makes me so angry to think people are getting killed. Can someone tell me why we arent helping , no " theres no oil answers " please.

Answer 1

I think its an unwritten rule "No pot shots at leaders by other governments as there would be a free for all."

You are totally right about being angry about the situation. Where are Bush & Blair with their war cry "Democracy for all"???

I think that as there is so much unrest in Africa that no one wants to get involved & take on the warlords and other factions out there.

But the oil point is valid - one big strike and THEN SUDDENLY other countries would sit up and take notice.

As for Mugbe - well, things are starting to turn against him. Lets just hope he's overthrown and then slowly hung. That image would proberbly become one of the best "You tube" downloads of all time, not to mention a really popular screen saver.

As the fox yelled to the huntsman when he chased him over English countryside - "Tally Ho, now you B******D !!!!! "

Answer 2

I suspect the reason has nothing to do with removing Mr. Mugabe and his henchmen. That would be super easy, probably done in a few hours. The problem is the aftermath. The US, which is the global cop these days would get themselves in a very complex humanitarian crisis. They would have to hang around to bring in another gov't, get involved in feeding the impoverished and treating disease. The experience in Iraq has left bitter feelings and they do not want to get involved in another similar scenario.

Answer 3

As to the sentiment I couldn't agree more! But easier said than done. Zimbabwe is a landlocked country a long way away. But even if it were next door, our spineless government wouldn't do anything without the Americans.

Answer 4

if there is one place in the world we have a right to invade its Zimbabwe. It has many citizens of British extraction who are being murdered, raped and having their properties unlawfully seized. the country is starving as black farmers taking over the farms grow/rear only enough to support themselves whereas the white farmers employed people and fed the entire nation with exports too. We should go in

Answer 5

Taking out Mugabe is pointless without dealing with party - Zanu pf. For things to change, the country needs supervised free and fair electons

Answer 6

that would be one way of getting rid of that evil tosser and at least we wouldn't keep hearing him bleat on about how the west are this, that and the other. as for why blair and co are not helping, well because they are hypocrites and so two-faced: i mean, they invaded iraq to get rid of one tyrant and yet they choose to stand back and do jack-all when people in zimbabwe are treated like ****. well, that's not good enough. if blair is so willing to help africans, then why isn't he condemning what's going on in that state? his hypocritcal attitude is extraordinary, not to mention sickening

Answer 7

Remember Romania? All it needs is for the army to turn against Mugabe and hey presto - a revolution and Mugabe is out. Surely those around the mental bastard can see what is happening to the people, how much more can THEY stand, let alone us?

Answer 8

Maybe we no longer have the moral authority to 'help' after all our helping in Iraq.
What if we made a bad situation even worse (again) ?

Answer 9

What makes you think that whoever took over would not be worse?, there are obviously plenty of psychopaths who do his deeds for him. It's an African matter and we should let them sort it out, whatever our sentiments might be.

Answer 10

I think we need to do something about Mugabe and his regeime but I don't think sniping him is the proper way to do it.
