I think he finally went beyond insane. Something that cannot be measured by standard means.
Mugabe Finally Goes Insane

I think he finally went beyond insane. Something that cannot be measured by standard means.
While I agree with the sentiments that the UN should do something. They won't. They have no real power as evidenced by the multitude of issues they have debated endlessly on and ultimately did nothing about.
Mugabe is a paranoid little man who has only one thing on his small mind. Maintaining his stranglehold on power in Zimbabwe. He never has given half a hoot about the people living there, save what he can strip away from them to fatten himself.
If anyone needs to do something it is the African Union. With UN mandated support.
If any European power, or (shudder) the United states were to do anything directly it would simply (at least in his mind) justify that everything is some western plot to overthrow him (rather than trying to save the tens of thousands of people who are going to die as a result of this.).
But as recent history as shown time and again in the end nothing will happen, and the only real winner in this will be Mugabe and his regime. The real losers the people of Zimbabwe.
I just hope that something does get done before an epidemic worse than cholera takes hold. I shudder to think of what a major outbreak of something really nasty could do to all of central Africa. (Ebola, Hemorrhagic Fever for example.)

He doesn't sound insane at all. Most political leaders tend to think of a country as theirs.

The guy has been insane for at least the last decade.
BBC said:
Unfortunately, Mugabe is right. It really isn't the UN or the US or the Commonwealth who should deal with this mess, but that sorry excuse for a regional organization called the South African Development Community. As I've said before, Thabo Mbeki and most of the members sans Botswana have coddled him for years and blocked any direct action from being taken. The last thing Zimbabwe needs is a revolution and more reason for conflict, but it would probably be the quickest way to oust Mugabe right now.
Also, his middle name is Gabriel?

It helps make things nice and simple to them, black and white. Neocons and left wingers alike partake in it.

Here's an interesting article about pre-Mugabe era in Zimbabwe:

My point is, why was Mugabe necessary? For killing and pillaging?

Yes, exploitation was so much better when white people did it.
