Benign intervention

Perhaps we ought soon to re colonise Zimbabwe..Our modern army could easily invade from Mozambique..We have an immense responsibility to the people there. We left the place in an awful hurry, well before democracy had taken root..The African people would welcome such intervention, We could encourage investment in agriculture, infrastructure and even get some industry going, they could surely undercut the Chinese on the international labour markets...We have an additional responsibility to the pensioners there who fought and assisted Britain in the second world war, who still live well below any recognisable European poverty line..
We should give up on Iraq as the misguided blunder that everyone new it would be..Using the same resources we could truly make a positive difference to a country that would not only appreciate our intervention, but thoroughly deserves and needs it
