I guess thats what you get when you elect a hate-monger.

And on realising Mugabwe's capabilities those same people attempted to democratically remove him, but were denied that basic right. So we are to condemn them forever, even after seeing the error of their ways?

Stating that your friend was a RUETERS reporter only hurts your credibility among thinking folks, just so you know.

I stated my colleague was a Reuteurs journo because that simply was the case, and as a result of working for that company had a number of postings in Africa. His father, until his death last year, also lived for 20 years in Zimbabwe.

He got elected the first time on a "get back at whitey" platform. (I'm sure they had a more official name, but I like to get to the point) Later, they did realize the error of their ways, so did the Germans in 1943. Since they did this to THEMSELVES, shouldn't it be their responsibility to fix it THEMSELVES? Isn't that what they wanted in the first place? SELF GOVERNENCE? Sometimes that means making hard choices.

I expect that in my lifetime, we in the US will need to overthrow our socialist government. Hopefully, when that time comes, we'll do it, and not whine for everyone to support us because we screwed up.

Africa had their chance with our help. It was called Somalia. They want us to support their stupid choices, then they kill the very people sent to help. They want self rule? Fine, have it. They'll find it's not as easy as complaining.
