Death By Cholera. Really?

I have not updated this site because of a war going on in my head. A war that, on the one hand feel I we should do anything to help the poor of Zimbabwe and on the other hand rage at the injustice of a politically crazed despot, who cares more about how many people are in his cabinet than trying to repair the country he is fighting for.
Robert Mugabe, president of Africa rigged the voting to have himself elected and has since pushed this once proud nation into a death trap with inflation the highest in the world at over 10000%. Cholera is running rampant and refugees are pushing into the borders of other cities carrying the deadly disease with them. Sewers are broken all over the cities and fresh water is harder and harder to find. Garbage is not being picked up and street vendors sell their wares amidst the rotting sewage in the streets.

The US and other nations are calling for Mugabe to step down. Amid the grumbling of the outside world, human activists calling for peace in Zimbabwe were arrested including a two-year-old child. There are reports of torture being used against the leader, Jestina Mukoko and nine others to force a confession out of them. She was taken from a health clinic where she was treated for injuries reportedly from her torture, directly to court where she and others may face the death penalty. She was ordered released, but was has not been, instead now being held in an undisclosed location.

Zimbabwe's people are suffering from Mugabe's appalling economic mismanagement, corruption and brutal repression.  How do we as civilized people continue to pour money, food and medical supplies into a country with a violent leader who cares not for all Africans but only a select few? Those who do not agree with his views are subsequently beaten, raped and killed with no thought of it at all. Do we keep pouring sand down a rat hole, as this powerful despot rules the country with fists of iron?
