Do Zimbabwe have loads of oil?
If they do, then no doubt a 'regime change' may happen.
If not it'll be the Balkans and Rwanda all over again.
Cynical? No, realistic!

Very realistic they havent the armed forces at present to get invovled in anything same as the UK.  Though the state departments words on the situ:

US State Department spokesman Tom Casey said extra sanctions were being considered against Zimbabwe following the arrests.

We will have to take a look at what is currently on the table and what other steps might be taken. There's always other tools in the tool box," he said.

Thats about as strong as it gets at the moment, Zimbabwe isnt a terrorist world threat. so about as much as we will see being done is  sactions. The is very little else that can be done or will be done. Unless of course someone strikes finds a wealth of oil but not very likely.

Anyway current affairs done with for the evening.
