I told that to an idiot from "Zimbabwe" the other day, and he looked at me dumbfounded.
He had a book titled "DINNER WITH MUGABE: The untold story of a freedom fighter who became a tyrant". I laughed and said the man was never a "freedom fighter", that only a fool would believe that, and that Ian Smith should have annhilated ZANU-PF.
He was taken aback and started stammering, "but..but..".
It was obvious that the white people there were nothing more than credulous morons who were basically food waiting to be eaten, the Eloi to Mugabe's Morlocks.
Three million have left? They bring with them their disease: liberal weakness. They should have been forced to stay and fight, to die if necessary, but fight nonetheless.
Even Mugabe knew that.
So, this is a reason for the diatribe against my posting Buckle's letters?
I don't suppose it occurs to you that these threads are a method of encapsulating the failure of the liberal policies in Zimbabwe and giving a benchmark for the possible future of the US?
Do you even READ these letters I post? The ones from 2005 vs. the current ones, I believe, give a snapshot of where Obama is taking us, and while there are many of us on FR who can see the parallels, there are possible lurkers out there who haven't.
Do YOU have current sources that show the mistakes made by the Rhodesians that you can post here, instead of taking out your anger on my posting of Buckle's letters? I welcome them if you do.
