The measures to be taken are not sanctions aimed at Zimbabwe. The actions that should be taken are aimed at stripping Mugabe and his ZANU-PF cohorts of their ill-gotten gains, rob them of their wealth. The sanctions should also be levelled at any country giving Mugabe's regime any sort of legitimacy whatsoever, they then have a rather stark choice to make, prop up a thief and a murderer, or stand with the rest of the international community.

I heard a report that Australia has already withdrawn educational/school priveleges for children of Zimbabwe's ruling ZANU-PF elite and requested that they return home. I have seen no confirmation of this, but it sends home the right sort of signal.
