Zimbabwe = Darfur

Things are getting pretty bad in Zimbabwe, so much so that Roger Bate thinks they are just as bad as the genocide occurring in Darfur. Things are also striking a rough parallel to what happened in Rwanda. Although it seems like there is more driving of people out and making them homeless than outright killing. But there's some of that too.
Are we concerned about it? Is the government, the defender of the free world, doing anything about this either?

As President Bush met five African leaders this week, one topic should have been at the forefront of the discussion -- Zimbabwe. Three of the leaders, from Mozambique, Botswana and Namibia, are from countries that directly border the despotic regime of Robert Mugabe, but none of them has had the courage to voice consistent dissent at the regime that has overseen widespread death and destruction. While understanding the requirement for quiet diplomacy, surely the time has come for stronger words and action -- with a third of the population dead or fleeing the country.

He makes a call for a UN resolution, just like for Darfur. I'm sure that'll be a GREAT relief to the peoples of Zimbabwe. Not.
