South Africa and Zimbabwe

A South African government spokesman expressed irritation yesterday at a so-called bogeyman approach being used to scare African countries, like children, into conforming with the West following Jack Straw's urging to African leaders to confront Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe:

"SA won't be scared into obeying G8 leaders; we will do things because we believe they are correct and right"

Whatever you say, but do it, you pompous &$$.
