I don't care if Mugabe were the devil incarnate; how can the world allow beautiful children like this little boy to suffer?

"US: World must act in Zimbabwe; Says Mugabe's time is up; cholera deaths rise" by Nelson Banya, Reuters | December 6, 2008
HARARE, Zimbabwe - The United States said yesterday that President Robert Mugabe's departure from office is long overdue and that a food crisis and cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe mean it is now critical for the international community to act.
Gee, yesterday they were just "worried."
Zimbabwe has declared an emergency and appealed for international help to battle a cholera outbreak that has killed 575 people, with 12,700 reported cases of the disease, according to the United Nations. "It's well past time for Robert Mugabe to leave," US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in Copenhagen.
Same for YOU and YOUR BOSS, Ms. War Princess!!!!
In a further sign of growing international pressure on Zimbabwe, European Union diplomats said the bloc planned more sanctions next week unless progress is made in ending a deadlock over how to implement a power-sharing deal....
WTF? How are MORE SANCTIONS going to HELP? I am tired of POLITICS impacting PEOPLE'S LIVES when it is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY!
Nobel laureate and South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu said on Thursday that Mugabe must step down or be removed by force and that he faces indictment for war crimes in The Hague unless he quits.... Foreign Secretary David Miliband of Britain said in a statement that Zimbabwe's neighbors should know there is "massive international support for any collective effort to bring a real change to Zimbabwe."
Translation: We are READY to INVADE!
