In yesterday's Orange County Register, Karl Maier of Bloomberg News reviews a book by Heidi Holland titled "Dinner with Mugabe." Holland apparently had dinner with Mugabe many years ago and used that experience to get her book published.
According to the review, Holland explains that Mugabe is a "lonely, isolated little boy in an old man's body." In his youth, Holland says, Mugabe was shy, bookish, isolated and vindictive.
His psychological makeup isn't important. What is important is what he's doing, which is killing people and ruining Zimbabwe. If the United Nations has any function at all then it should be doing something to solve the Mugabe problem. A tyrant like Mugabe shouldn't be allowed to kill people and take down a nation.
If the U.N. is pointless, which it surely is, then the assignment should go to NATO. A few thousand troops is all it would take to send Mugabe and a few henchmen to a place like Guantanamo.
