Nope, it's because its Africa and any intervention by Europe will unite the entire African continent under the cry of COLONIALISM. |

Why don't we send troops to Burma?They would be much more effective there. |

Well,sending in the troops was not the answer in Iraq was it? |

Basically, yes. |

we have a lot to answer for that it clear - I fear something is about to happen in Zimbabwe though - I wonder why nothing was done when Mugabe left the country the other week - an ideal time I would have thought for an uprising - whichever way it goes, bloodshed on an unprecedented scale is on the cards I fear |

Mugabe does not act alone,he is the figurehead.When he left the country recently he left his enforcers securely in place.Taking him out would just leave a space for a younger leader to fill. |

Why did we send our great-great-grandfathers and uncles out there in the first place,interfering in their society? |

I actually "Agree" with Eldrick,What he stated is basicly true. The main thing in "Africa" as a Whole,Is "Tribalism" it always has been and always will be,Whatever Tribe is in power tries to get rid of the others anyway they can.Regarding sending out our Grt.Grt.Grandfathers and Uncles to gather the Riches of those Nations.I doubt if anyone on here did that,and the sins of the Fathers Etc.Should not be gifted on the Sons(or Daughters)as is so often muted in the Press etc Usually by people who have never been there,except on Holiday.**M**. |

Tribalism was the way that Africa worked and had been working for centuries.Left to itself Africa would have evolved,just as Europe has evolved. |

Tribalism is still working today,just look at how they are slaughtering each other now,not just in Zimbabwe,but in other African Countries,As to Dvelopment,Who Knows?The way they have turned the Breadbasket of Africa into a Virtual Wasteland, it makes you wonder.**M**. |

It has only been the breadbasket of Africa since we made it so.We imposed an imperfectly formed capitalism on a continent that was doing quite well with systems that had evolved over centuries. |

I see that South Africa has finally begun to condemn Mugabe, likewise the SADC. |

Sharron,All due respect to you but that system that was operating Quite well.Perhaps you should ask the Tribes that were destroyed by the Zulu Nations what they think?,They were regarded as "Their Cattle" to do with as they wished,( Even to selling them into Slavery to the Moors Etc ) and any that were left after they had finished with them,( Women and Children )They washed their Asagis in their blood,and that my friend is only part of the History of Africa,The rest is even worse.**M**. |

I thought we could have helped Burma after the disaster.The generals didn't want help for their people,bas**rds,but they only have a small army,trained only for combat.What could they have done to stop us,they were too busy fiddling about trying to look effective and cover up the mess from the outside world. |

Its no different to the outrages that took place in Europe. The inquisition, assorted wars (esp the two world wars in the last 100 years), religious persecution, genocide, you name it. And we have developed, have we not.....? |
