The secretary general of Zimbabwe's opposition party has been granted bail, a day before a controversial presidential poll run-off.

I find this part hilarious.

Speaking to the BBC, the head of the MDC said Zimbabwe's army was preparing to force people to vote in massive numbers for Mr Mugabe.

Morgan Tsvangirai told his supporters to vote if necessary to avoid violent reprisals.

"What difference does it make?" he said. "This government is illegitimate, it will remain so."

Mr Tsvangirai pulled out of the election on Sunday, over fears of increasing political violence.

Mr Mugabe came second to Mr Tsvangirai in the first round of the presidential vote in March.

Since then, the MDC says some 86 of its supporters have been killed and 200,000 forced from their homes by militias loyal to Zanu-PF. The government blames the MDC for the violence.

One of the reasons we went to war with Afghanistan was to liberate the oppressed women of that country.

Now we have an entire nation that needs liberated.

The language used by the international community is not harsh enough.

He will steal the election. But I don't hear any 'consequences' apart from sanctions being touted. Sanctions only hurt the people. Mugabe will still be eating of a gold plate if their isn't a drop of food in the land.

Preparing? I saw an article the yesterday that said they'd been amputating the hands and arms of people they suspected would vote for the opposition. I'll try to find the link and post.

Seriously though, the UN can't do anything like this. It never has been able to do anything like this and never will.

You know, just like in that film Hotel Rwanda. They're Peacekeepers not Peacemakers. The faggots.

Look, as much as i want us to go into Zimbabwe and smash Mugabe and his army to pieces, we simply can't.

Its an act of war, we really don't need ANOTHER war. Although this war would not be pointless, we do not actually no how long it will go on for. Even though Zimbabwe did participate in the shortest war in history (45 minutes against Britain). I thought Iraq would go on for a few months and then we'd all be back to normal.

But, even though someone here said that he thought Mugabe's army would crumble without him, you just don't know if it will. You can't predict something like that, and you just can't invade another country, no matter how much we want or need to.

How would most people describe a nation with 150,000% inflation, massive unemployment, a collapsed agricultural system, and an election for which the ruling government refuses to release the results? “Crisis” would be an understatement for everyone — everyone except Thabo Mbeki, South Africa’s president and ally of Robert Mugabe. Mbeki says we just need to patiently wait for Mugabe to get around to letting people know who won:

Bad idea. Watching cricket's more of a punishment than a reward.

If Zimbabwe had anything anyone cared about, the UN might actually do something about it.

Then the UN is not helping to achieve their goals or the goals it was meant to achieve when it was founded after WW2, and it's a useless organization.

If the west did something about it, if we got rid of him AND fixed the countries problems without taking a single life, we'd still be criticised and called colonial tyrants.
