Zimbabwe imposed its ban yesterday on production for nearly 3,000 white-owned farms as a leading aid expert said there was "precious little time" left to avoid a devastating regional famine.

The white farmers, who work on the country's most productive acreage, have 45 days before they must surrender their holdings under a land-expropriation bill President Robert Mugabe signed last month.

Mugabe knows he can count on all of the suckers in the United States to bail him out! Why not ban farming by Whites?

If they only had hate crime legislation, I'm sure this could have been prevented.

The farmers should grant their wish. And sow the fields with plenty of salt.

Mr. Gormley said a serious food crisis can be avoided only if aid money and seeds are distributed soon to prepare for the next harvest, in March 2003.

It looks like Mugabe wants to sow weeds. I wonder how they'll taste in a soup.
