I have been there and seen first hand the devastation Mugabe's dictatorship is wreaking on that nation. It is worse now than when I was there a few years ago. I was in a meeting with the head of our ACOP churches in that nation on Thursday. It is unbelievable what Mugabe is doing and no one is doing anything to stop him.

Mugabe does not control a significant portion of the world's oil nor has he posed a threat to the United States or it's Allies as Sadaam did.
Had we not intervened in the first Gulf War the United Nations would have sat by and let Sadaam have gotten away with invading and taking over Kuwait. That would have emboldened him to then have invaded Saudi Arabia. His dream was a Pan Arabaic State spanning most of the Middle East. With Kuwait and Saudi Arabia he would have controlled an unbelievable amount of the worlds oil.
Why doesn't the United Nations get involved in Darfour, etc? If most of the members are too yellow to confront terrorism you would think they at least could muster the gumption to send troops to settle third world idiot peons from killing each other and their people.
