If I know anything about the British is that they will ultimatley say, " Please roll me over and stick it in my bum before you steal everything I own."

They made the investment AFTER Mugabe took over?

Hate the looters, but damn, people that stupid are almost asking for it.

There were no toilet facilities, people were buying water with diamonds and sleeping in the holes which they also used as latrines. The air was thick with flies. "Between 6,000 and 15,000 people moved one million tonnes of earth by hand in a 1.4 sq mile area in a month. World class machinery couldn't have moved what they did," said Mr Benade.

Sounds like something that belongs in the eighteen-hundreds. I wish Britain had the balls to step in here.

"..the first to invest in bankrupt Zimbabwe since the political crisis began.."

Deserves anything that happens to it for dealing with that gang of thugs.

"I don't believe Zimbabwe would allow illegal seizure of claims without due process."

Other popular beliefs:

"I don't think John Kerry will say anything stupid in 2007."
"I think the Democrats will act in a spirit of bipartisanship next year."
"Richard Gere's next movie will make a big profit."

Andrew Cranswick, 44, ACR's chief executive, said: "I don't believe Zimbabwe would allow illegal seizure of claims without due process."

Bawhwhahahhahhhahha now that is funny.

Pet the croc, feed the croc, pet the croc, feed the croc....

I suppose Mr. Cranswick's venture was on the menu...go figure.

Somebody should move to seize Mugabe. Whatever happened to companies like Executive Outcomes who used to deal with thugs like Bobby and Gracie?

But yesterday came the eviction order which the company is challenging in court.

Mugabe listens to courts? Don't think so.

I am reminded of a show on tv that I saw some years ago, the premise was that diamonds are actually quite common gems and only the power of DeBeers in controlling the market keeps their value up. Maybe it's time to loose the floodgates and let us all wear $1 diamonds.
