Why the UN don't vote a military intervention in Zimbabwe ? Is Mugabe's terror more tolerable than Saddam?

Q: I am scandalized by the dictature, the terror , that's horrible ! Ok, just think one second ! Imagine your country ( I guess most of you are from the US,right ?) was under a terror rule, a total dictature such as Nazi Germany, Saddam's Iraq, Mugabe's Zimbabwe,etc ,.. Imagine you had NO civic rights, NO right for self-expression,... Imagine your president has all the money and you don't even have something to eat... Imagine the police entering in your home and robbing you, raping you and killing you because you dared criticize the governement. WHAT WOULD YOU WANT THEN ? YOU WOULD WELCOME ANY FOREIGN COUNTRY'S ARMY WHO WOULD SET YOU FREE, RIGHT ?

A: As a person who has lived in that country for some years, the reality of Mugabe's terror surpasses anything and everything that Saddam has ever been accussed of. It's in living the reality that one comes to understand and believe that Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe with an iron fist, with total disregard for his people, has no respect for any other country's opinion and always with the goal of totally destructing the lives of every Zimbabwean. In Zimbabwe, you have no rights (people don't even know what Human Rights means and death is the penalty for self-expression), you have no food, you are stripped of your dignity and you live in constant fear. If one is not murdered or brutally raped / beaten to death, then death is sure to come through hunger. I have always wondered why the rest of world sit by and watch, but I guess they're all waiting until the eleventh hour (and 59 minutes!) before anyone lends a hand. After all, what would the foreign countries gain by helping Zimbabwe since it has nothing to offer in return? If Zimbabwe was an oil producing country, someone would have stepped in to help, years ago. It's SO sad!
