Well, as someone who entertained moving to Rhodesia in the 1970s, I no longer have any sympathy for her personally.
I do have one question. Where were the 'right' thinking people when black citizens were being treated like fourth class citizens? It seems to me that the only people who ever thought about addressing the issues were the fringe left elements. Why is that? I've known both black and white Rhodesians. Most of the white Rhodies I've known thought the racial hierarchy 'was it was and how it was supposed to be' and most of the blacks resented not being able to have the same freedom hence how they ended up here in America. It's just amazing. I have lots of respect for Ian Smith but what was with the choice of Robert Mugabe? I know that wasn't his choice (I hope).
