3 Paul Jacobson Mar 14th, 2007 at 6:59 pmCan’t someone send in a bunch of special forces people to wipe out Mugabe and his cronies. Surely someone can make George Bush believe there are nukes/oil/shiny baubles in Zimbabwe?
4 Stii Mar 14th, 2007 at 9:43 pmHehehe, very sharp!
5 Colin Daniels Mar 15th, 2007 at 9:14 amPaul – I hope you weren’t suggesting that we send in our ’special forces’?
That would be funny…

Next thing you know you will don on Khakis jump into a mercedes with a few hunting rifles and invade a neighbouring country.

13 Vincent Maher Mar 15th, 2007 at 5:02 pmfo sheasy over the heasy schnitz – mommies need to represent in our “special forces”
14 carls Mar 15th, 2007 at 5:48 pmdefinitely but i would like to decline that position if no one minds – I see myself as part of another wing – like chief party defence minister? what u think?
15 Darren Mar 15th, 2007 at 10:08 pmWell, we do have the SA Special Forces Brigade, which is comprised of two regiments (5 SFR in Phalaborwa and 4 SFR in Langebaan). They technically *could* kill Mugabe and his cronies, but that would be both illegal and pointless, since Muggo would just be superseded by another power-hungry thug from within ZANU-PF or the army. If you’re going to attempt regime change, you’ve got to stay behind and pick up the pieces.
Everything to do with Zimbabwe centres on South Africa. The US won’t press for anything tougher than regime sanctions because it doesn’t want to lose the co-operation of SA, which the US sees as an important player in Africa’s future, while SA’s tacit support (aka quiet diplomacy) merely emboldens Mugabe to continue. So long as we refuse to isolate Zim, there’s little the rest of the world can do short of even more sanctions. Regime change isn’t an option, there just isn’t a legal case for it (as opposed to Iraq, where there was).

17 carls Mar 16th, 2007 at 11:08 amif she wants the position she can have it. I could have the shmoozer potfolio. But either way – I’ll take one for the team!
18 Paul Jacobson Mar 16th, 2007 at 5:47 pmHey Colin
Sorry, just digging myself out from under the pile of papers on my desk … special forces? Do we even have special forces? Would they be the B-Z-list bloggers seeking to re-establish balance in the Force?
