Good grief! Some people are getting hysterical enough to suggest passing a law to take the passports off the New Zealand cricketers. Surely their efforts would be better spent on actually stopping the maniacal actions of Robert Mugabe. I mean, the sum total of international sanctions against Mugabe so far consists of nothing more than an EU travel ban on members of his government, an EU arms embargo and a freeze on the European assets of those suspected of being involved in human rights offences. The only part of that with any significance is the arms embargo, but even that is pretty useless given that it only applies to European countries.
