Tougher sanctions will make a hard life even tougher on Zimbabwe's citizens.
Sanctions will not drive out Mugabe anymore than sanctions have forced a
policy change in other countries where they have been used. Corruption is
one of the scourges of many African nations and the problems in nations like
Zimbabwe can only be solved by the people of Zimbabwe themselves.
