So much that's so grim in the news at the moment , especially re.  parts of Burma and China .
In yesterday's 'Mail a dispatch from Peter Oborne in Zimbabwe , reminding us of the increasingly alarming  campaign of murder and torture of anyone associated with , or suspected of supporting the opposition MDC party , perpetrated by Mugabe's Zanu-PF thugs .
Mugabe is determined to remain President at any cost , which it seems likely that  he will .
He knows that despite  the corrupt ballot-rigging he's so hated that he still lost the election .
For some reason he's supported by South African President Thabo Mbeki . And , I suspect , more passively ,  by Archbishop Tutu  .
And there's no oil , or strategic advantage there , so what does the U.S government care  ?
A 22 year old mother of two , seized  and viciously beaten across her buttocks with wooden poles for half an hour , then ordered to sit for two hours  on her terrible wounds , five of her close friends kicked to death , others unaccounted for : All because they were known to favour the MDC party .
Tens of thousands of Zimbabweans being beaten , tortured , murdered , deliberately  starved .
Anglican churches and their parishioners being targeted because they are presumed to be in league with the MDC .
Inflation running at 1000% at least .
Why the f--- will not other countries governments , including Zimbabwe's neighbours ,  make a concerted effort to get rid of  Mugabe  ?
