It is wrong to think of Zimbabwe as being some osrt of basket case that cannot feed its people, yes the white farmers who used to produce most of the food have been forced out of the country (much to the benefit of surrounding nations like Zambia who have seen their food production increase as a result) but the farms can be made to bloom again. The Zanu PF uses food distribution as a tool of control. Try getting your bread ration if you don't have a zanu PF membership card or fertiliser if you are an MDC activist.

Although Mugabe is a murdering bastard responsible for the deaths of thousands we would prefer it if you would just quietly go away and stop asking us to deal with the reality that Zimbabwe would probably be a better place if Ian Smith still ran it !

Then you can talk about genuine moves to bring about change, of which sending troops in is not one (the people of Sierra Leone are still recovering from a british 'humanitatian intervention').
These moves would include debt cancellation, genuine no strings attached aid, moves towards international trade justice (indeed these are what we should all be campaigning for at gleneagles next month) and providing funds and support to opposition groups, many of which suffer intimidation, imprisonment and torture by the Mugabe government (one of these groups with which I am particularly close being the Zimbabwean sister group of the socialist workers party).
However, I have to repeat that sending in troops is never a legitimate option - all you wind up doing is replacing one set of problems with another.

2 South Africa was experiencing similar problems in the 80's during apartheit and regime collapsed without need for troops to intervene (now of course they got a whole lot of other problems to deal with which the west is partly responsible for
3 I can tell u about troop intervention in Greece during world war 2 where the vast majority of people wanted the new govt to be a communist one and the British troops decided they would crush this movement start a civil war on the side of a few Royalists finaly beating the opposition and installing a king as a new leader. had any country Britain 'freed' during WWII done the same as Greece britain would again supress this. So cut the Britain saved the world shit and educate yourself. Then again ur probably about 12 years old anyway so u got time.
what are you like 6?

Do nothing and add Zimbabwe to the growing list of African countries facing hell on Earth.
The International community should unite to kick his stupid ass out of power, and get the people back into the country who actually give a shit - like the white farmers.
out of africa
