Who knows what the future holds and how bad it will get
in Zimbabwe.
But up until now Zimbabwe is hardly the worst case of political
repression and violence in the world.
Why all the fuss about zimbabwe when there are equally or more undemocratic
regimes in egypt, saudi arabia, pakistan, uganda, china etc..
certainly the violence so far reported in zimbabwe comes no where
near the violence in say columbia in terms of numbers murdered and
tortured.
why is their only talk about sanctions against zimbabwe?
I think its pretty obvious.
