What does Robert Mugabe have to do before the civilized world finally makes him stop?

Get videotaped giving a minor ass-whooping to a 3-year old girl in a mall parking lot.

[rogerthedodger]

Surely some of the ex-Sealous Scouts must be willing for another go round with Mugabe?????

Of course you'll never hear about this in the United States.

[Tailgunner Joe]

Maybe we can have Hatfill send him some anthrax in the mail.

[rogerthedodger]

That's too nice a way for him to go. I think he should get the same treatment as the twelve year old girl depicted in the story, with a nice length immune system illness to take him out.

"Get videotaped giving a minor ass-whooping to a 3-year old girl in a mall parking lot."

Minor?

[rogerthedodger]

as in under age 18, as in the woman who beat her kid on tape in indiana

"In the last two years," writes David Coltart, an opposition member of parliament, "Zimbabwe has been transformed into a state that increasingly resembles Cambodia under Pol Pot."

Precisely, just as intended. BTW, this article looks almost identical to one posted several days ago.

"as in under age 18,..."

Thank you.

With the image of a hockey fight was burned into my mind... it looked pretty "major" to me.

[ez2muz]

sorry...

"fight was" = "fight"

[Tailgunner Joe]

Zimbabwe articles are all starting to sound the same. Everyone is raising the alarm about what is happening, but most people don't care.

[Carry_Okie]

No, I'm talking SAME, same quotes, same paragraphs, and same author, just published elsewhere earlier.

[rogerthedodger]

I saw an article the other day that a Boer group in South Africa was busted building up for an attack on the government. Maybe the whites in southern Africa are starting to get fed up. I'm sure they realize they'll never get help from America or Europe.

Minor?

Were there broken bones? Was there blood?

You took my bait and proved my point. You are more outraged by Madelaine Toogood swatting her kid than you are by Robert Mugabe's genocide of millions of his own people and murder of white farmers for their land. Your tiny little mind is under the complete control of the sensational, voyeuristic media. They spoon-feed you sensationalized video of a mother in a snit and you go berserk. They deprive you of voyeuristic photodocumentation of what is going on in Zimbabwe and it is completely off your radar screen.

Just like the rest of the enquiring little minds in this country.

[Blood of Tyrants]

You call that beating "minor"? I feel pity for the horrible childhood you and your children must have endured.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I feel pity for the horrible childhood you and your children must have endured.

I was right. You are more outraged about Madelaine Toogood than about Robert Mugabe's genocide and murder. Your mind is as tiny as I said.

I have no kids, and I had a wonderful childhood.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You call that beating "minor"?

If that was a "major" beating, then what is a beating with broken bones and gushing arteries?

[Arthur McGowan]

The plan for the U.S. was: In order to get medical care, you would have to stand up and scream, "Long Live Hillary! Long Live Bill! Down with Gingrich and the Republican Running Dogs!" Fortunately, the plan was defeated in 1994.

[headsonpikes]

Your post is one of the most trenchant and perceptive I have ever seen.

Things not be looking good for 'progress'. ;^)

[spodefly]

Robert Mugabe is black ... he couldn't possibly be doing anything wrong. Only whites are evil, unjust, and racist. Haven't you people learned anything yet?
