Not shameful. Pragmatic.

Andrew Stuttaford says that Bush’s refusal to call for Mugabe’s resignation is shameful.
I disagree.
I can see how we have at least an iota of moral responsibility to help clean up Liberia. But Zimbabwe is Not Our Problem. I agree totally with Bush that it’s better to let the South Africans try to solve it. Or (and this may not have occured to Andrew, although I’d be surprised if it hadn’t) the Brits, whose responsibility Rhodesia — oh, excuse me, “Zimbabwe” — properly is.
