Default Re: Zimbabwe sanctions vetoed at UN

you looked at Gordon Brown lately? I dont think his looks had anything to do with veto.
The two countries that support him, China has already gone beyond the fringe as regard the rights of its own people, they will be locking up a large part of their population, just so the country looks good for the Olympics. the other, Russia is heading back the way it used to be.
That gives them reason not to want sanctions on countries that behave in a similar way.
