Zimbabwe

Should the west do more to help the people of Zimbabwe - and if so, what would you like to see happen?

Ignore keyplus, just ignore. few people get appreciation when you listen to them. Later on you find out that even at their own home people are fed up with their I know what no one knows behavior.

The human condition dictates we only know what we know by what we directly see and experiance.
We see from the news that Zinbabwe is in a bit of a mess.
We are then told that we must care about it for the good of the world. When we show that we care we get told to mind our own buisness because it's none of our concern by likes of Keyplus.
WTF DO YOU WANT!!

The situation in Zimbabwe is terrible for the people of that country. The situation in many other African countries is equally terrible, with famine and civil wars. Remember Rwanda?
There are many other countries where the people suffer terribly - North Korea springs to mind. In Iran they execute children for crimes. China's human rights record leaves much to be desired. I could go on.....
How much can the West do? Why should we interfere in Zimbabwe but not in Darfur?
It's my opinion that other African countries should lead the way with action in Zimbabwe, not us.
I've done my bit by closing my bank account with Barclays after finding out they are heavy investors in Zimbabwe.

Please read this and let me know who would suffer most if there is peace in this world.
I am sure people are already aware of this, and I am sure people are aware that when someone wants to sell his/her product then most of the times they create reasons for people to buy that. You know what I mean. Now I am not against any country or system, I am just giving my opinion and the other side of the picture.

You're not against any country or system? Pull the other one, Keyplus. We've read your contributions to AB - but perhaps you hope we'll conveniently forget what you've said in the past. Don't take people for fools, because in the main, they aren't.
