Are Britain and the United States moving against Zimbabwe?

Entitled Famine and Political Violence in Matabeleland, the Washington
meeting was chaired by former secretary to the British High Commission in
Zimbabwe David Troup, and was organised by the Zimbabwe Democracy Trust
(ZDT), which includes such leading British political figures such as former
Conservative foreign secretary Douglas Hurd.

I am going to ask the questions I asked before. What are the percentages of
tribal make up for ZANU-PF and MDC, respectively Shona and Matabele? These kinds
of comments, flotated by the people who brought us Racak, Rambouillet and "100
000 men missing in Kosovo", lead me to believe that the model for taking down
Mugabe is going to almost mirror Yugoslavia down to the ethnic cleansing stuff.
"Ethnic Cleansing" having its meaning because of who is talking about it. In
this case (Zim), that means the cynical manipulation of the media and the
situation itself to divide the country-- thereby conquering it for imperialism.
While ignoring the impact of the continuing ethnic cleansing in slow
motion-cum-rapid fire of Palestine, I predict that this theme-- oppressed
Matabeles being horrifically starved to death by the heartless, chauvanist Shona
dominated Zanu-PF and the baby-eating dictator of Harare, Robert Mugabe (scowl!)
requires isolation, CIA sponsor ship of a liberation army for the oppressed
peoples and ultimately, the threat of invasion.

I hope I am wrong, I fear that I am watching the press test the waters about the
way it will be done. Throw in a dash of Human Rights Watch and Doctors Without
Borders and you can start watching the script write itself.
