UN Sanctions on Zimbabwe Vetoed by Russia and China

 

A UN security Council Resolution to impose sanctions on Zimbabwe's president, Robert Mugabe, and 11 senior members of his government was vetoed Friday by China and Russia. It would have imposed a travel ban on Mugabe and freeze their assets abroad.

The United States pushed hard for the sanctions after after Mugabe ignored the Security Council's appeal to postpone the June 27 presidential runoff election.The Chinese ambassador said they should give Zimbabwe more time to solve its own problems.

U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said, "China and Russia have stood with Mugabe against the people of Zimbabwe ... for reasons that we think are not borne out by the facts on the ground. The U-turn on the Russian position is particularly surprising."

  I agree with Russia & China  
 
The reckless, brain dead bunch of US politicians never learn. They want sanctions on everyone. Nevermind that sanctions almost never work, and only promote hostility and conflict. Worse still, it's really none of America's friggin' business in the first place. (other than gaining some bargaining chips to establish a command center somewhere in Africa)

I'd rather see my tax dollars going to doing something about Mugabe than paying for forced sterilizations of trolls.

Well be that as it may there are about 300 million people in the U.S. and it seems highly educated to base your entire judgement of the American populus by the handful of people you see on tv. Its not like the british are stabbing everyone in sight (and that would be the people not the government) however all americans must be idiots because our government is full of idiots. Yep. Sounds unbiased and educated to me. *Shakes head*
