THE police look on after destroying an illegal structure in Harare. The campaign has sparked riots throughout the country.
In 2000 the Zim dollar was trading against the US dollar at 55 to 1. Now it is officially 9,000 to 1 and trading on the street at about 18,000 to 1.
Others estimate that about 80 percent of the workforce is unemployed.
The MDC will always plead for a legal and political recourse and there has to be an opposition party taking such a stance, but Zim will have to hit rock bottom and then a revolt will have to take place.
Why is Mugabe doing this? Seems to me that he is creating millions of people who have absolutely nothing to lose- those are the most dangerous element of any society.
MDC reminds me of the republican party. Being way too civilised in the face of absolutel corruption.
He can't get off.
When guns are outlawed...
---Why is Mugabe doing this?---
Perhaps he is attempting to open the market up for the Chinese? It sounds ridiculous but look what he did to farming.
Cathy Buckles website is down.
I have not checked it for over a week.
Do you think she has finally left Zimbabwe?
I hope she and her son are out of there.

is not responding but if you cut the tail off and use this:
http://www.africantears.netfirms.com/
It should respond. Then you can click on the link "This Week" under "Cathy's Letters" and the letters should come up.
My mistake, I was looking to see if there was any info on Kathy Buckle.. http://groups.msn.com/censorbugbear
Thank you for the responses.
I wish she would get out of Zimbabwe.
I certainly understand Cathy's love for her country.
I love America, too. But if my child was in danger because of the country we lived in, I would get us out.
My sister-in-law is from South Africa. Her family left a large dairy farm...been in the family for generations...but they got out.
They brought very little with them to America, but they are all quite sucessful now.
Somebody needs to get guns to these people.
How many times does history record the outcome of the citizen allowing himself to be disarmed?
I was there, and saw this with my own eyes. Amazingly, within 72 hours black churches had organized and the parishioners lined-up thier cars on Sunday at the Korean stations to buy gas in defiance of the looters.
If the Koreans hadn't armed themselves, the stations would have been gone.
The Koreans use of weapons in legal in the natural law of self-defense,all other laws are subordinate.
