thanks for the sympathy ... unfortunately a resolution seems a long way comming and most zimbabweans believe that the country really needs to come to it's nose, never mind knees until something is done ... if there had been no aid etc this would have happened years ago so actually the west and south africa has aided and abeitted the misery ...ironic really. and although the zim situation does not affect world peace it certainly has a massive knock on effect to the neighbouring countries!! Anyway, zim is but a drop in the ocean compared to the rest of the world.
