Well, we'll just have to have a difference of opinion. The transition from minority white rule began in 1979, which is now 25 years ago. Some insightful European Jews were able to exit Europe in considerably less than a quarter century before WWII. Once the transition to African tribal rule was complete, why did any of the resident whites think that the Western-style 'rule of law', much less their property and politicalstanding would be maintained?

Africa has a poor history of the end of colonial rule. One man, one vote, one time.

Mugabe wasn't always this nutty. Things started out relatively mild and then just went down hill. Perhaps that is why many didn't leave. The folks that left were people who fought in the war and even then they went to South Africa. Besides even if it wasn't tribal rule, they wouldn't be able to do things 'business as usual'. You can't have rule of law and not allow the majority of citizens to vote and deprive them of the same rights richly enjoyed by the whites and coloured people. There's a lot that can be said, but it's all pointless. Mugabe is the next Stalin? and the Chinese will take over anyway.
