To krotec54: How dare you even ask a dumb question like that! You know that those farms was striped from their ancestors, who then could not pass down the trade. They have to relearn the trade. Where did AIDS come from??? The doctors and nurses who got caught giving it to the children Lybia tell most of the story!!!

If Africans farmed the land before the colonist came, why are the farms not producing any crops after twenty years? And if Africa has so much rich resources, why are we sending money for AIDS to them?

Kkeithie1 said: So you have no problems with the way Mugabe has run Zimbabwe since he took over in 1980? The black population would not say he''''s a "monster"? Everyone is happy with Mugabe? He has done a lot of good things for the people? He cares about their health, safety & welfare? Mugabe can''''t sleep at night because he is so worried about the current state of Zimbabwe.

Enlighten me, oh wise one. Give me a list of his achievements.

I''''m waiting, milesbrown49...

Mugabe took back the land stolen from the Africans and is in the mist of ridding the oppressive rule of the white majority. We all know it will be hard and tough times. Look at the great depression in America and how great it is today. No one blamed the president for it. Did you think that it would be easy to rid the country of the haunting of many years. The land was farmed by Africans before the colonist came and will be farmed after. The one last thing Mugabe must do is to rid Zimbabwe of all of the colonist as they are causing problems and interupting the healing of the Africans. Go back to Europe for gods sake!!!

"We can only hope someday Africa and African people outgrow their narrow "racial" view of the world, and learn to tolerate, accept, and work with people of all different backgrounds." Posted by SharnCedar

It would help if the rest of the world could lose their "racial" view of Africa, seeing them only as slave labor, whose blood and land is to be exploited for the profit of the rest of the world, and to the detriment of the people.

De Beers is a prime example, diamonds from Africa have made them obscenely rich, but the people taking them from the ground remain very poor. Why is it that the high price paid for diamonds is only paid to a Eutopean?

Yeah I know, I ask for too much at this time.

By now Churchill would have intervened with SAS special forces and Mugabe would be behind bars awaiting trial.

Gordon Brown however is too busy kindling the Olympic flame in London to care sh*t about the former colony.
France seems better adapted at keeping the peace in former colonies.

Trouble in Chad - and the Foreign Legion are activated.

Not even close!!! LMAO. You know very little about Idi Amin and the piles of bones he left behind. He and Pol Pot were spiritual brothers and make Mugabe look like Mother Teresa.

I know quite a bit about Idi Amin, but you have forgotten that Mugabe is just getting started.

If the "White" ruling class was doing good for the people if Zimbabwe, they would not have been ousted.

Not necessarily, Africans indulge in racism whether or not its good for them. African countries are the most genocidal, most racist places on earth, the entire culture is bound up in an ugly racial view of the world in which my tribe kills your tribe for no good reason, other than primal racial hatred and rivalry. Look at that sick freak Thabo Mbeke and how he supports Mugabe even as it hurts South Africa''s economy and brings ruin on South Africa - but his hatred of those who are of a different skin color or "tribe" in this case the whites makes him love and defend Mugabe no matter what he does.

This is the tradgedy of Africa, this inability to see past racism and petty hatreds. This is why they created slavery in those countries (though the Eurpopean colonists unfortunately allowed slavery to be exported to them) and why they are in poverty today. Because it turns out that diversity and tolerance are very good things, they lead to prosperity and general well-being.

We can only hope someday Africa and African people outgrow their narrow "racial" view of the world, and learn to tolerate, accept, and work with people of all different backgrounds.

I have yet to hear of a benevolent government being toppled by it''s own people.

Same for Mugabe.

This has nothing to do with ethnicity.

"London''s Guardian newspaper reported that Mugabe''s aides said he is prepared to give up power in return for immunity from prosecution for past crimes, but that if opposition leaders do not agree, then Mugabe may declare emergency rule."

He should have used Bush''s tactic, bribe, or threaten some key politicians, and re-interpret the law to declare himself immune to prosecution, and make ex post facto laws to clear past crimes by his cronies.

Then he should endorse a loyal puppet lap dog to replace him, then the US would have no right to comment.

Mbeki will be out of office by the end of the year, unless he can indict the ANC members that voted him out of its leadership chair. Mugabi and his elite cadre is mostly at fault. South Africa''s nuevo riche black polygarch & Mbeki are too busy ignoring the poor, catering to the U.S. & Britain business interest and assuring Afrikaners their fate will be different than that of Rhodesian brethren.
