To hell with upsetting the cowards who support the genocide being committed on the people of Zimbabwe. There is no longer any excuse to allow this tragedy to continue. Amazing how it took so little time and unity to invade Iraq, but when it comes to a country pleading for such an invasion, to escape from a murdering tyrant, the answer is no thanks from that body setup to stop such slaughter, United Nations my arse. United spineless wankers more like it. Why is our PM and Government not screaming from on high, insisting something be done. Messers Rudd and Smith pay lip service to humanitarian equality. It needs more than a few words of tsk tsk, how disgraceful, he is bad etc etc. Here is a great opportunity for Mr Rudd to show his statesman qualities, all we get are whispers of indignation. So people die because the so called civilised world just wont help them. I seem to remember after the holocaust those words....'NEVER AGAIN'. Its become YES AGAIN. systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of a people by a regime allowed to run riot by a world who will not lift a finger. I am disgusted and ashamed.<br /> If the useless African Nations surrounding Mugabe havent got the guts, the welfare of Zimbabwe’s suffering population and the will to rid the world of this despot then the United Nations should use its combined muscle to do the job itself.
