The source of Zimbabwe's woes, Robert Mugabe.

Hey, he might as well blame the west. All the cool butchering dictators are doing it.
It is our fault we didn't shoot the thieves and butchers every time they cropped up.
typically tactic - blame someone else for your failures while you try to change the subject
Maybe if he hadn't killed or chased away the productive farmers and put his non-farming cronies on the land things might be better.
Yet another UN success story!
Old story...
3 envelopes....
First envelope, blame predicessor
Second envelope, blame economy
Third envelope, prepare 3 envelopes for the next guy...
Or for failing dictators...
Blame the USA
Blame Israel
Find a country that will let you live in exile....
This man, assuming he is human, has some sort of severe mental defect.
U.S. should have given the farmers aslyum. But then again, it would have been politically incorrect and the race-baiters would have had a fit.
After confiscating the profitable white farms to give to his cronies who know nothing about farming, he blames the west. Mugabe, you're a total and complete disaster ever since you took office. You had no experience running country and you refused to learn, idiot. So while you're going down the tubes you have no one to blame except your incompetence.
Rain will only allow weeds to grow between his toes. His "drought" will mysteriously end when he's overthrown and hanged.
The guy's economic moves are a complete failure, and he blames the West. He's upset because he can't achieve what the West has achieved. If he'd take economic policy back to where it was when he took over, in a few years the country could undo the damage.
I think you're on to something.

I can't believe it hasn't been said.
Zimbabwee's problems are Bush'e fault.
There.
If Kerry were president, this wouldn't have happened.
One more example why the entire world should grieve for Africa. Not one sub-Saharan nation that is not corrupt and morally bankrupt. And, in the past 15 years, two of the strongest have now fallen into the gutter like the rest -- Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Of course I grieve for Africa.
All of its problems result from its population of....Africans. It isn't like over 75% of the Continent hasn't had sixty years or so to "work out from under the boot of colonialism.".
The real trouble a pair of facts. Number one is "All politics are local.". Number two is "All African politics are tribal.", which due to the tribal system's collective disposition and generally weak matriarchal structure, leads to a predisposition to communism.
It sort of reminds me of what has happened to the Democrat Party here in the USA, but I digress......
