I'm not an overly callous person; I'm not insensitive to the human suffering in Zimbabwe and in many other parts of Africa; but, if a workable (hate that word) solution is to be found it has to come from within Zimbabwe ... any form of military intervention to remove Mugabe will not work in the long run ... it will be just like Iraq: win the war and lose the peace.

Just as an aside, an aquaintance of mine, who is a very high profile member of the Canadian Parliament, told me that when GW asked Canada to join the screw up in Iraq, then PM Jean Chretien's very unofficial response was "F... him, does he think I'm as stupid as Blair"
