Believe me I echo your disgust? offense? at the Mugabe situation but I'd far rather have people talking than killing each other.... Although a moron like George Bush invades another nation and kills thousands on a lie and exaggeration...he's given the podium at the U.N. to talk about aid relief to Africa.... So even though some of these rascals have less than stellar credentials the opportunity to diplomatically deal with many diverse situations is in my opinion prefereable to armed conflict.
From Darfur to Zimbabwe, revolutionaries and terrorists have highjacked aid sent to help a starving people and I wonder why these conditions don't merit greater dialogue at and in the United Nations.....
If we seriously want to live together in peace...we have to exhaust all alternatives available before we escalate to the next stage.
The United Nations...undercut and plagued with corruption is the only place that talk can take place before aircraft and tanks start rolling.
I prefer peace and when either a man with too much power and influenced by greed and self-interest ahead of the welfare of the citizens of his nation brings suffering to thousands that man and that nation should be the target of sanctions from the body of the U.N. The United States and Israel have been manipulating this institution for decades and when it can be seen that manipulation is possible and a practical alternative to living up to the notion of law and principle, the gates are flung wide for any treacherous nabob to usurp and tear-down the system.

I'm not saying armed conflict is the answer or suggesting disbanding the UN, though I would like to point out that talking with Mugabe doesn't prevent any killing. Starvation is as deadly as a bullet. I just find it funny that we're supposed to pretend Mugabe is anything but what he really is. Few people would suggest ignoring Bush's faults (rightfully so), but when people point out Mugabe's faults he just cries racism. It is the height of irony to have a man who caused famine at a conference of this nature.
[FONT=Verdana,Arial]Mugabe’s Biggest Sin
Anglo-American and Chinese interests clash over Zimbabwe’s strategic mineral wealth[/FONT]

Robert Mugabe, the President of Zimbabwe, presides over one of the world’s richest minerals treasures, the Great Dyke region, which cuts a geological swath across the entire land from northeast to southwest. The real background to the pious concerns of the Bush Administration for human rights in Zimbabwe in the past several years is not Mugabe’s possible election fraud or his expropriation of white settler farms. It is the fact that Mr. Mugabe has been quietly doing business, a lot of it, with the one country which has virtually unlimited need of strategic raw materials Zimbabwe can provide—China. Mugabe’s Zimbabwe is, along with Sudan, on the central stage of the new war over control of strategic minerals of Africa between Washington and Beijing, with Moscow playing a supporting role in the drama. The stakes are huge.[/FONT]
Zimbabwe’s President, Robert Mugabe is a very very bad man. This we all know from reading the newspapers or hearing the pronouncements of George W. Bush, earlier Britain’s Tony Blair and more recently Gordon Brown. In their eyes he has sinned badly. They charge that he is a dictator; that he has expropriated, often with violence, the farms of whites as part of land reform; they claim he rigged his re-election by vote fraud and violence; that he has ruined the economy of Zimbabwe.
Whether Robert Mugabe deserves to be in Washington’s honor roll of villains alongside Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein, Milosevic, Ahmadinejad, and Adolf Hitler, however, it is not the reason Washington and London have made Zimbabwe regime change priority number one for their Africa policy.
What his sin is seems to have more to do with his attempts to get out from under Anglo-American neo-colonial serfdom dependency and to pursue a national economic development independent of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. His real sin seems to be the fact that he has turned to the one nation that offers his government credits and soft loans for economic development with no strings attached—The Peoples’ Republic of China.
