Zimbabwe has a military that would be hard-pressed in defeating an American city police force or even that of Mayberry RFD.

Do you liberals realize how much you sound like Cheney on Iraq?

“Why, all it would take is a few troops to quickly decapitate the Zimbabwe regime. After that, the good people of Zimbabwe will be so happy to be liberated from their dictator, that they will all chip in peacefully to build a new Zimbabwe, and we can withdraw our troops in a year or so.”

Cheney TRIED that in Iraq. Did it work?

Bush 41 tried something like it in Somalia. Did that work?

teabag:

t only took 8 years of indifference to the suffering of brown people.

It’s not the job of the United States Marines to alleviate the “suffering of brown people.”

Their job is the defense of the United States.

Some “humanitarian” missions can go terribly wrong. Remember Somalia? After Iraq, are you now willing to undertake nation-building in Zimbabwe too?

Yup. Bush’s and Blair’s Zimbabwe policy- benign neglect.

Where was Bush? He could have landed a platoon or two on the way back from Iraq and sorted the problem out in a weekend. It only took 8 years of indifference to the suffering of brown people.

Where’s Obama? It appears to me that a regiment of American Marines, a couple of British Paratroop battalions and a Ghurka regiment could run the whole Mugabe crime regime out of Zimbabwe and hand it over to a responsible government. Of course, Obama probably doesn’t like the idea of the white farmers getting their land back.
