The farmers and their former helpers are all by themselves with the lone 'superpower' in the southern area totally against them (Mr.Mbeki of South Africa). Robert Mugabe does a b very good job of silencing people and crushing rebellion behind the scenes. I wish I could show you the emails I get from friends in Zimbabwe. It's sad.

My friend I think some brave,intrepid souls need to take matters into their own hands. Do you know what I mean? Don't wait for help because IT IS NOT COMING. I wish I could be over there helping in the dirt with the brave men (and women) standing up to this tyrant.

Can you point to any large groups in Zimbabwe standing up for Democracy?

Excuse my deep cynicism about your willingness to send the men and women of the USA armed forces into Africa to fight and die to help them achieve freedom.
It seems only a small number of them are even interested in the concept.
What was that on your DD-214?

The A-holes couldn't even knock on the door before bulldozing?

Then redeem yourself by admitting it is incredibly stupid to demand that the USA solve the self inflicted problems of Africa.

I never said that the US should solve anyone's problems anywhere so I have nothing to admit.

"What are we doing in Iraq? Or elsewhere in the world for that matter? I want to know where the UN is but if the US is going to stick their nose in Iraq and Bosnia, then why not in Zimbabwe?"

Tour post #23.

Kofi can't help.

Mugabe doesn't have enough to bribe him with.

I asked a question. If they went to Bosnia and Iraq then why not Zimbabwe too? I never said that the US should go and solve the world's self inflicted problems. I think that some aid should be given to opposition parties but not troops. For asking a question, you call me ignorant then call me stupid.

I can certainly understand the sad/outrageous/frustrating feelings of the 'little people'.

But there comes a time, when the 'little people' band together/stand up/ and FIGHT BACK.

I'm tired of seeing our tax $$$ going to a country, and KNOWING that the only ones who benefit, are the ones who grind their own people down. I'm tired of seeing American $$$ going to fatten and strengthen some butthole, who had a vendetta against white farmers...then when he ran out of whites to persecute, he turned to his OWN to brutalize.

I knew a contractor in Houston who provided a house on his property for his top supervisor. He discovered that his wife was having an affair with the man. When he knew they were in there he drove a bulldozer through the bedroom wall. Luckily they escaped but he was soon looking for a new wife and supervisor. No more free housing though.

I always believed that money should be tied to good governance. Mugabe went to the Pope's funeral. He should have been turned away. Jack Straw shook hands with him. Why? I don't think troops are necessary but some severe sanctions would be great as in no more money for his mansion and palace fund. Leave christian missionaries alone, that's so King Leopold-ish what he's doing to them.

But hey, they have "black majority rule," that magical phrase we heard day in, day out back in the 1970s.

Isn't that what really matters?

Chalk up another one for liberalism.

The liberals want it under their terms no matter what. Look at how much they lauded Justice Thurgood Marshall but trashed and nearly destroyed Justice Thomas. I'm coming to think it's a global liberal conspiracy really.
