#1 By engaging in detailed consultations with Southern Africans now and by linking a commitment to Zimbabwe's recovery with a commitment to regional infrastructure investments like improving southern Africa's rail links

Foreign Aid and Railroads.... I just knew that had to be the answer. I wonder if she knows who built the rail structure in that part of the world to start with?

#2 Decodes to, let's throw money at them. Actually, were the policy to throw money at the opposition then I would support it. It's a policy that might actually work.

#4 That's a tall diplomatic order, and it will take a committed team of senior leaders in Washington working with energized diplomats on the ground and a Congress willing to invest in Zimbabwe's future to fill it.

You jest of course. What compelling diplomatic, political or economic reason does the USA have for any interest in Zimbabwe? These arguments are irrational and contradictory to our own national interest. This is the most bankrupt of all nations that once were seen as the model of African economic success and the breadbasket of sub-Saharan Africa. Now it is no more than a savaged waste-land of empty shelves and moldy currency. Good luck convincing even Obama to get involved. Zimbabwe today makes Somolia and Darfur look like Hollywood and Vine.

#5 Cause we all know how effective the Washington and international diplo's were in resolving the problems in Haiti.

Notice all the whiners about 'progress' in Iraq, sorta skip over that Clinton adventure?

#6 Don't throw money at the opposition. Throw guns.

Specifically several thousand inexpensive Chinese AK-47 knockoffs with a couple hundred rounds with each MG. Maybe a hundred RPG-7s, with three hundred rockets, as well.
