Are you saying no one can take action against someone unless they are morally 100% pure

No, all I am pointing out are the double standards being applied here. It wasn't too long ago that Idi Amin (The Last King of Scotland) was put into power by Britian in the belief that he could be controlled & manipulated by Britain. He drove out the Asian community, butchered his own people, practised cannibalism, (keeping heads in his fridge should he fancy a snack), murdered the Archbishop of Uganda, Dr Janani Luwou, awarded himself the Victoria Cross, and suggested that he be made head of the Commonwealth in place of the Queen!
Was he expelled from the Commonwealth - NO

All I am saying is that selective morality in situations like this result in the evil judging the wicked. Africa has an unfortunate history of throwing up unpleasant vile tyrants and we should try to apply the same rules to everyone including Yoweri Museveni, Thabo Mbeki et al.
Lets not forget that only a short time ago General Musharraf was being applauded as an ally in "the war on terror" with the US pouring $Billions into Pakistan.
