Subject: RE: BS: Zimbabwe 'elections'
Another excellent piece from       in today's Times.

"Sanctions are a war waged by cowards"

For some time now I have been talking about "sanctions" as a form of terrorism practiced by the powerful nations against the weak.
Simon Jenkins, details the inefficacy, stupidity and cruelty in the course of action promoted by Teribus and others.

No matter how "smart sanctions" are targeted they can easily be circumvented and the victims are always the sick the poor, the very young and the elderly

As I said earlier leave the Zimbabwaen problem to the Zimbabwaens.
Stop interfering and stop the sanctions.

It is simplistic to blame the strife on "Tribalism"..The tribes co-existed well enough for thousands of years....before the political ingredient was added to the mix.
This is true for almost every country in Africa, "tribalism" distorted and abused by the pwer brokers....Ake
