Zimbabwe's prime minister says he is disengaging from the unity government because of the "persecution" of a top aide.

Longtime opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai said on Friday, "We are not really pulling out officially." He said his party would not attend Cabinet meetings or engage in executive work with President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party. Tsvangirai said his Movement for Democratic Change party would continue parliament activities.

Tsvangirai said the freeze will continue until the dispute over Roy Bennett's trial and other issues are resolved.

Bennett is being tried on charges linked to long-discredited allegations that his party, the MDC, plotted President Robert Mugabe's violent overthrow

Jis, you come up with the best ideas, hey? Get rid of Mugabe! Why didn't anyone think of that before?

Jis you have such constructive posts, are you back from school already?
You were probably one of those that supported quiet diplomacy right?
We need armed, yes armed forces to move in and get rid of him but then you object to armed intervention :rolleyes:

Dude. Think it through. What can armed forces achieve, exactly?
 
Well clearly, dude, the other option has yielded sweet bugger all.
The time for talking ended long ago.
Actually it wont be much of a battle, send in a competent army surround the borders and give that racist pig 48 hrs to leave.
After that Morgan must take control and start giving the country back to the people who live there

"Other" option? Mbeki's bull**** quiet diplomacy, you mean?

Has it never crossed your mind that a problem may have more than two solutions?

So - to go back to your point: What can armed forces achieve, exactly?
 
Ok for the mentally challenged, what has the other option achieved in the last 9 years?
I must be missing something.
There are no more solutions, the only solution is for the current regime to go.
No more talking no more raping the country and arresting people for nothing.....remember Apartheid? :rolleyes:
So back to my point if you dont understand it maybe you must listen more carefully in your next history lesson.
;)
 
The objective armed forces would achieve would be:

1) Compounded misery for the people you are trying to liberate
2) Long term hostility between South Africa and Zimbabwe
3) Huge expenses for South Africa passed on to the tax payer
4) Death (Mostly innocent victims)

How can you suggest armed conflict as an option? It is quite obvious you know nothing about the consequences of war and the extreme hardships which follow.

Try come up with something more constructive.
 
Lets kill him and take over Zim we need the space for development, or prisons.


// mwhaahahahahahaaa .....
 
From what I read, there are only 2 solutions... Bob stays, or Bob goes... whats a 3rd solution?

(how you go about making bob stay or leave is up for debate)

Everyone wants Bob to go.

However, certain mentally-challenged individuals seem to think the only ways to do this are either a) quiet diplomacy or b) all-out warfare.

Seeing as a) has failed, some of them have now gone ahead and plumped for b), without considering its aftereffects or the possibility of other alternatives.

So basically what is happening and has been happening for the last 9 yrs :rolleyes:
It is quite obvious you have no clue what is going on in Zim now or for the last couple of years
Grayston is that your clone?

Hah! Trust me - no-one is ever more amazed than I am when people share my ideas...

I notice that you haven't detailed how your wonderful plan of going in with all guns blazing would actually solve anything. If you just want to see explosions and dead people, buy a video game.

Would you mind elaborating on the other alternatives?

Why would innocents suffer if the target was Bob? He's so arrogant that he wouldn't hide. Why the world hasn't seized his money stashed overseas, I'll never ..... oh wait, then it would leave their's open to the same seizure.

I'm sure many Zimbabweans pray for his death everyday.

yet they had lots of chances to vote him out and some still vote for him. Zimbabwe got what it asked for.

Actually I seem to recall that they didn't vote for him in the last election, he just held on to power like the despot that he is when he lost.
