Jimmy Carter suddenly aware of Zimbabwe

According to the LAT, Carter said yesterday in Johannesburg, South Africa that Zimbabwe's humanitarian crisis is worse than he could have imagined. Doesn't Carter read the newspapers?

Zimbabwe has been a basket case for a decade or more and has been getting worse each year. This surely can't have surprised anybody, Jimmy Carter excepted. Yet the international community has done almost nothing to change the situation. Robert Mugabe should have been forced out of the country. Consideration should be given to prosecuting him as a war criminal or some other kind of criminal. Zimbabwe formerly fed Africa and part of the rest of the world. Now it can't feed its own people. That's criminal and Mugabe is responsible.
