We and other global countries need to remove President Robert Mugabe. He has blood stains on his hands.

Is he sitting on any oil, Mark? No? In which case we have no mandate to remove him.

Why should this turn on the presence or absence of oil?

Why was he ever allowed to join other politicians at that summit the other week? Shouldn't he have been arrested on sight for crimes against humanity?

I think Robbie was being ironic, Ian. Britain won't get involved other than to encourage Africa to try to sort the situation out. Maybe Nelson Mandella will say something at his 90th Birthday celebrations.

Mugabe has had his knighthood taken away. So he should?

The Zimbabwe situation is a veritable tragedy, a word much over used, but appropriate in this case. Let's hope that the world can unite against this evil.

By the way, Mark O, are there any countries that aren't "global"??

Zimbabwe is in the state it is in because we failed to act.
