HARARE (Reuters) - President Robert Mugabe returns to Zimbabwe on Wednesday under pressure from fellow African leaders to form a national unity government in the wake of his re-election in a violent poll ruled unfair by monitors.

An African Union summit in Egypt, attended by Mugabe, approved a resolution calling for him to negotiate with opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, who withdrew from the run-off election because of violence against his supporters.

The resolution fell short of the tougher statement wanted by some African countries, but it was an unprecedented rebuff to Mugabe, previously feted as a liberation hero. …[ MORE >> ]

Mugabe Loses His Cool In Cairo

….meanwhile, US President George W. Bush, on June 26, 2008 at the White House in Washington, DC, said he had directed that sanctions be drawn up against the “illegitimate” government of Zimbabwe after a run-off vote boycotted by the opposition.

What?

George Bush has No Business sanctioning Mugabe….for he is as illegitimate, and a worse criminal than the man he condemning.

Both have stolen elections and have “killed” their own people. For Bush — add another 600, 000 innocent Iraqi’s at the behest of 500LB bombs and sadistic U.S soldiers.

Bush’s Operation Iraqi Freedom was a mission of Murder, Rape and Torture, featuring “sadistic, blatant and wanton criminal abuses,” by the U.S Military personnel.

In the piece entitled “Country of Laws,” Ralph Nader blasts Bush for fictionalizing his Iraq war actions and for saying that he’ll leave office with no regrets…. “disgracing his office for longtime repeated violations of the Constitution, federal laws and international treaties to which the U.S. is a solemn signatory.

He adds that Bush has “committed a massive war of aggression, under false pretenses, violating again and again treaties such as the Geneva Conventions, the UN Charter, federal statutes and the Constitution.

Despite this, and the human, financial and infrastructural cost of the war, Bush is, as Nader writes, “effectively immune from federal criminal and civil laws because no American has standing to sue him and the Attorney General, who does, is his handpicked cabinet member.

Moreover,” continues Nader, “the courts have consistently refused to take cases involving the conduct of foreign and military policy by the president and the Vice President regardless of the seriousness of the violation.

So, G.W. Bush please shut up!

You too belong in JAIL!
