Cholera Outbreak

This is an electron micrograph image of a cholera bacterium:

It's amazing how one tiny organism can wreak so much havoc on a population.  I guess the same can be said of individuals...

 

Just when I thought things couldn't get much worse in Zimbabwe, it does.   An outbreak of Cholera has taken approximately 600 lives.  British PM Gordon Brown is telling other world leaders to put pressure on Robert Mugabe.  Condolezza Rice says it is the responsibility of Zim's neighbors to ensure that Mugabe steps down.   I don't know much, but I know that it is going to take a lot more than harsh criticism to get Mugabe out of office.
