Lets be honest about things, Britain, Europe on the whole and the West don't give two hoots for Africa , the only places which seem to be making a bit of success out of things are the former French colonies in west africa who have kept strong links with the Quai d'Orsay (French Foreign Ministry), with none of the Nigerian corruption bull.
I think the last sentance of your post to tangentally put the blame for Zimbabwes problems on George Bush is ludicrous , the guy may not be the sharpest knife in the box , but no way can he carry the can for this , as I have said previously , any blame for Mugabe rests fairly and squarley in Whitehall and the elected British leaders, no doubt the current crop will have more excuses than Nuremberg about how they inherited the problems from previous Govts. but it's still their problem , no running away from it.

The blame for Iraq and Afghanistan lies with GWB....If you read the post I said Britain was commited in other regions down to GWB not that GWB was to blame for the problems in Zimbabwi.
I have been round long enough to know the problems in other countries...I have been to most of them.
