Can someone tell me why Bush ignores Robert Mugabe the dictator of Zimbabwe?

Question

The guy is up there with being one of the worst dictators, his country has the highest inflation, the life expectancy is only 37 years and it has one of the highest unemployment rates. Not to mention he controls all news media in the country and his people are literally starving to death. He encourages his soilders to silence anyone who speaks out against the goverment including journalists who have been severely beaten. South Africa cant even handle the influx of people fleeing the country. It seems Bush only wants to be involved in situations where oil is involved, Iraq, Kuwait, and Venuzuela and Chavez.

Answer 1

Bush ignores a lot of things. He's probably one of the most ignorant presidents we've ever had. I doubt if he even knows what or where Zimbabwe is, unless some advisor filled him in on it.

Answer 2

Your description of Mugabe also sounds like Putin and many other world leaders. Is the US to take on the world? The world community is tackling the Mugabe problem head-on, like it does everything, in the slowest of slow motion. How do you think Americans would respond to anything Bush says about Mugabe? All we do is mock our president. We don't care, as a rule. I am among the less than 30% of those who still support Bush. Even I have removed my bumper stickers so my car isn't defaced and vandalized because of idiots who "hate" Bush. I do not believe the only reason we are in Iraq is oil. That is stupid. We have more oil than almost everyone, but have chosen to protect the environment as other nations pump it out.

Answer 3

Mugabe has slaughtered 1000's and left more advantageous homeless. He has trashed the most wealthy economic device in Africa. Mandela; even nonetheless a respected ascertain as image in the wrestle antagonistic to apartheid he did not cope with to channel all the global goodwill right into a valuable presidency. The economic device tanked lower than Mandela and basic South Africans suffered because of him. Bush released a war it extremely is unpopular with the left. merely in the warped concepts of a liberal does this make him the worst. Bush is the finest of this lot, in spite of his bone headed immigration rules.

Answer 4

At the present the U.S. is concerned with trying to thwart terrorist activities aimed at America and it's allies. Besides that everyone knows you can only fight so many wars at once. Not only are your troops spread to thin but it costs huge amounts of money. Not to mention its really tough to keep the critics appeased if the wars encounter resistance. I do wonder if those who are wanting the states to flee Iraq consider that whatever group terrorist or whatever that takes over will control the money that comes from selling Iraq's vast oil supply. We better hope this doesn't fall into terrorist's hands.

Answer 5

And why should we? America gets attacked if they go and try to free other nations like we are trying to take over the world or something.

Those countries you noted posed a possible threat to us and Iraq was supposedly housing WMD's.If they where or not we may never know.

Answer 6

Zimbabwe is inconsequential to the rest of the world. It was better off as Rhodesia, and I'm sure the people there would love to be a Crown Colony again.

Answer 7

What does Zimbabwe have to offer Bush and his friends in terms of opportunities for profit? Nothing!! Only possibly a market for genetically modified corn/maize, which they refuse to purchase since it can't be used as seed. So why intervene? It is an example that shows that the Bush administration's motivation for intervening in other countries' affairs is something other than the altrustic spread of freedom and democracy throughout the world.

Answer 8

Fu*k the Zimbabweans. They voted Mugabe in 27 years ago because they wanted independence from the evil white colonialists - they got what they asked for.
The bigger question is where will the Zimbabweans AND South Africans flee after the ruling ANC in South Africa has fuc*ed that country up.

Answer 9

The Bush administration is geared around MONEY... buckets of it. Zimbabwe can offer nothing except some ground nuts (peanuts)... No oil there babe.....

Answer 10

Bush probably doesnt have time for those issues. Or he doesnt know about its existenece at all. He cant get over Iraq. Its like hes attached to it or something.
