Is there anything that can be done to stop this madman?
What he is doing / has done to his own people beggars belief. The latest news from Zimbabwe is simply horrific,

[Philtaz]

The only solution for this kind of despotic madman usually comes in the shape of a cylindrical object, 9mm calibre and frankly I'm amazed that no one has attempted it yet.

The queen could bestow on him the Honorary Knight Commander of the Order of Bath and hope that will take his mind off killing his people for atelast a day.....

But then we did that in 1994 and still have not had the courage to take it back.

Philtaz 9mm ? Make it worthwhile 357 Magnum. May I volunteer?

[shaneystar]

He should be hung from the nearest
yardarm and left to rot.Why is our government frightened to do anything about this despot?They are quick enough to interfere in other parts of the world ,ie, Iraq.

I guess at the moment, the powers that be are worried that if they send troops into Zimbabwe they'll get slammed for overstretching our troops and for starting another 'unnecessary war'. Also, the problem is that too many other countries would get involved... Many African countries would side with Zimbabwe, but probably (and most worryingly if the UK was thinking about going into another war without a mandate from the UN) so would China, since Zimbabwe spends half of its GDP a year on arms from there. So if Britain were thinking of going it alone, they'd have to think carefully. However, why the UN hasn't got involved with anything 'more persuasive' than diplomacy so far is absolutely beyond me... it's disgusting IMO.

That's a very good answer sasha.Hadn't thought of it that way.
Makes you think that world is going to hell in a handcart.
