1200% inflation in Zimbabwe

Can you even imagine? The former breadbasket of southern Africa, a once thriving economy, has come to this. Poverty, starvation, political arrests, intimidation and torture, demolitions of opposition housing...it's all there for us to ignore. And the response from the "democratic" powers? Not much. I'm almost surprised that we have not heard the classic American line of "if they want to be free, they will rise up on their own like we did" missing the ever-so-slight point of the massive financial and military aid by Beaumarchais and the French. By no means am I suggesting yet another foreign adventure but just to say that it's not quite as clear or simple as many would suggest.

Forget about politics and focus on the human suffering in countries such as Zimbabwe. So how does the world help with a situation like this?
