It's been the same everywhere in Africa when revolutionary movements have kicked out the colonists. The result has been war, poverty, disease, corruption, starvation and persecution.

Zimbabwe is the current basket case but the same has happened in Angola, Zaire, Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Eritrea.......the list goes on. There is one inescapable fact that Mugabe cannot get away from and that is, he has taken a prosperous, stable Rhodesia and turned it into an anarchic Zimbabwean nightmare.

And his "let's kick out the British" line is getting really old. That's all he's got. I bet the people actually long for the days of British rule, that is, those old enough to remember it.

He's 84. Someone should start a "Mugabe deathwatch countdown". Talk about "only the good die young!". That saying was written for this guy.

South Africa can be added before much longer. Hmmm, what do most of these countries have in common?
