....if the West got involved, matters would only get worse for everyone.How could it get worse?
To: nopardons
Jimmy should go over there, and build a whooooooooooooooooole lotta houses . Don't ya think ?He's too busy planning his trip to Cuba to meet with Castro.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
We could send a 'peace keeping' force (or a 'peace making' force, I get them confused). The force will get themselves involved trying to maintain 'fairness' while serving the political interests of those who sent them. Eventually, in the name of 'fairness', they'll upset one side, or one faction will take do something nasty and set up another faction as the guilty party. Then, we'll have people there getting shot at *and* the situation will continue to deteriorate.
That's one way it could get worse. I'm sure there are others.

What do you think about Gadaafi's involvement and the training of Muslim terrorist squads? Post #18.

This is like watching a country on auto-destruct...

Well Jimmie's at work kowtowing to this hemispheres' Marxist, Fidel Castro. You'd think he would take a look across the water and see how savvy he's been with respect to Third World countries.

"What needs to be done is that the citizens of Zimbabwe need to be educated and encouraged to overthrow this guy on their own. It is an *internal* matter; but, like most globalists, the author wants other countries to involve themselves in someone else's business."Black Zimbabwe citizens overthrowing Mugabe? Will never happen.
In that s**thole of a continent, they seem to revel in such misery. They got exactly what they asked for. Every white in the country should hightail it outta there.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
What must sway Mugabe, if he is to be moved at all, is collective action by responsible African leaders. Nonsense. You don't look to leaders for freedom. Freedom comes from the ethics where an individual has a passion for self-interest and stands up for his rights by killing the Tyrant. There is no such ethic in Africa. It is a land where communal life is the norm. For that they are eternally damned.
To: LoneRangerMassachusetts
"Communal life is the norm " ? What historical proof of that, do you have ? I'll tell you, since you evidently do NOT know ... there is NONE !
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Let's hope he stays in Cuba for the rest of his days, and that he is one day buried there. It would be so very fitting.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
...if he is to be moved at all, is collective action by responsible African leaders. And where, in Africa, will you find a "responsible" leader?

It is pretty disturbing. The whites, if they have any sense, should start thinking about getting out of there (if they have anywhere to go). The only alternative is to fight. If they do nothing, then these 'death squads' are only going to be emboldened and will keep getting stronger and more numerous.
There is no easy solution to what is going on down there. The UN can wring their hands all they want, but it wont stop what is happening. If they send 'peace keepers', they'll just wind up caught up in the mess as well. As I said before, we should send material help, but not troops.
