Are you watching and learning, GWB?

I wonder if GWB is watching what is happening in Zimbabwe.

If he is, I wonder why he is not descending upon Robert Mugabe like a ton of bricks.

Mugabe, just like Sadam Hussein but with far more lethal consequences, is waging a war of terror against his own people. This is after a successful war of attrition against the white farmers who had created a huge and profitable agrarian life style for themselves and their workers.

We know why the British government did nothing to protect their own people in Zimbabwe - couldn't get permission from USA - but what reason does GWB have for not extending his avowed desire for democratisation of evil and genocidal régimes.

It might have something to do with the fact that there is no oil in Zimbabwe.

It's probably got more to do with the fact that GWB can't teach Robert Mugabe one more thing about terrorism - he's an expert already!

The MDC apparently won the last presidential election but, in the way of megalomaniac terror bosses, Mugabe refused to accept the vote and another election was called.

What is happening now? MDC members and supporters are being openly hunted in the streets by bands of Mugabe's thugs. MDC members are being beaten mercilessly - some to death. They have been forced out of their homes to live in the forests and isolated townships.

Mugabe has now managed to convince himself (with good reason, I think) that his thugs have already won the next election run-off and is claiming only God can remove him from the presidency.

Isn't it strange how Sadam Hussein, who was put in power and financed by America, who had managed to create a united Iraq (even if they were united only in their desire to be rid of him) and who was slowly being brought round to a more democratic way of thinking, should be the subject of a campaign of lies and distortion to allow American and British terror tactics to be used against him while Mugabe, who does not even try to conceal the sheer brutality and murderousness of his régime, is apparently inviolate?

Politics stinks.

The politics of terror stinks more.

The tacit endorsement of a terror régime is a crime against humanity.

But the leaders of USA, Britain, France, Germany, South Africa, you name it - simply don't see that defending the population of a whole country has any value where they cannot profit.

Politicians are too busy sitting on their hands while picking their noses to consider anything that might be of value to the rest of us.

Don't forget, Zimbabwe, a starving nation since Mugabe destroyed it, was once a major exporter of food to the rest of the world.

Not oil though, was it?
