If this contunues it will only be a matter of time before Zimbabwe deterioates into Civil War.
Unforunately, my home country - South Africa - gives lip (and who knows what else) service to Mugabe and his thug regime.

UN to act on Darfur?

I am still not sure whether anything positive will surface. Islamist forces in this 'joke' of a world body are still very powerful.

Chavez continues obsession with Bush

It seems that the Venezuelan is prepared to possibly bankrupt his country to prove a point.

Its heading toward election time and Harper is throwing money around like a Grit. The Liberals will really be picking up the scraps if Harper rides environmental mantle.
