Mugabe was ready to go peacably but the Praetorian Guards don''t wanna give power or the land they grabbed. I guess they''ll need to keep their day jobs based on how much food this country no longer produce, they ain''t farmers.

Once South Africa get tired of the border incursions, black marketeering and outside pressure to speak up about conditions the people are suffering, revolt will ensue. Wonder if the Chinese agri-laborers the government hired to cultivate the fallow lands will be drafted and forced to resist hungry, angry citizens of Zimbabwe, drawing China into, finally, taking a position of moral subtance, now that Africa is in their sphere-of-influence. (maybe better than USSR and the West?)

"A third of the population has fled the country, 80% of those who remain are jobless and inflation is more than 100,000%."

Holding Americans as hostages in jail cells just because they were reporting the truth. America has gone to war for less recently. Why not start bombing this nutcase???

milesbrown49 is the funniest comedian working in showbiz tomorrow. Maybe he also works as Mugabe''s chauffeur or shoe shine boy & is worried about losing his job.

Correct me if I''m wrong. Most of the people who have left Zimbabwe are black not white.

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...

Thabo Mbeki is a digusting, perverted agent of evil. He is responsible for the deaths in Zimbabwe as much as is his henchman Mugabe. Mbeki is soaked in the blood of the innocent Zibabweans, and we need to stop white-washing him and have him arrested and deposed from his dicatorship over South Africa.

From Breadbasket of Africa, to Wastebasket of the World and it only took twenty years to set it back 200 years into the past.
We need more leaders like Mugabe to show the world that Africans%u2019 can lead a "harmonized." nation.

Once these SOB dictators get a taste of power, they refuse to give it up. Even when they''re 84 years old.
Blow the *** up or shoot him.

"A third of the population has fled the country, 80% of those who remain are jobless and inflation is more than 100,000%."

Can you imagine living in a country like that?
