#1 "Elsewhere, and definitely in America, he would have been a dead man. His adventure is really dangerous."

Why don't we try a little experiment? Mr. Mugabe hasn't been on a trip in a while...

#2 Let 'em pull a stunt like that and I have an idea where we can test our new microwave weapon...

#5 Remove all US personnel, including those working for NGOs and charitable institutions. Impose a total blockade on Aid to or purchases from Zimbabwe, or any nation providing aid to Zimbabwe. If Russia or China want to support this basket-case, let them - it'll drain funds that could be used to build up their army, or strengthen their economy. Sooner or later, Zimbabwe will crash, and the fall will be heard around the world.

#7 "During an October 10 recreational visit to National Botanical Gardens in Harare Ambassador Chris Dell inadvertently wandered into a poorly marked military area located in the middle of the park," it said.

Next time I'm at Disney I'll look out for those poorly marked areas.
