You know what the funny thing is? Mugabe is an equal opportunity hater. You would think the President of a country would love his people? You would be wrong when it comes to Zimbabwe. He hates Black Zimbabweans as much as he hates the white citizens & the Europeans. If you stand in his way, you''re going down. It''s him or you & you''re gonna lose every time.
Mugabe is color blind when it comes to that.

Yes, we could. However, if we took out all the countries with idiot dictatorships and all with agendas who want to destroy the U.S., it would put the world into a nuclear winter. Even so, it must be tempting at times.

I think it is interesting that diseases that have spread across the world and killed millions have originated in Africa and Asia. The flu viruses always come from Asia, didn''t the Plague originate in Africa? Did not aids originate in Africa? The whole Reverend Wright propaganda about Whites inventing aids to destroy Blacks is a crock of B.S. It was supposedly, I have read, originated in monkeys in Africa. Now, tell me, how would it have spread from monkeys to man? Aids is one of the most easily preventable diseases on the planet. There are two major deterrents to the disease: (1) Use condoms; (2) Don''t engage in s e x u a l practices which are conducive to the spread of the disease.

You can bet your sweet bippy that I will never meddle in what is happening in Africa. I don''t even desire to visit that continent. I have an aversion to vising any country where I can''t turn on a tap and get clean water.

Hotreal,

You are out of your mind. Your perceptions of reality are totally jaded. You could turn all of what you said around and that would be a more accurate description of life in Africa:

You wrote: President Mugabe makes the entire Africa proud.

More accurate: President Mugabe looks like artists depictions of Satan himself.

You wrote: Standing strong in the face of evil is something many are scared to do.

I wrote: President Mugabe is the face of evil.

You wrote: He want the African people to stop being exploited by the pinks "whites" who are notorious for exploitation, child pornography, bestiality, slavery, racist invasions of countries, terrorism, the gay disease and all evil things of this planet.

I wrote: Africans were involved in the slave trade long before whites "discovered," the continent. I suppose you are expounding that before whites, no one on the African continent had ever been involved in bestiality, slavery, racist invasions of countries, or terrorism. So, in other words, prior to whites "exploitation," of Africa, no one in Africa had ever experimented with s e x with animals? Yea, right; slavery? That was already addressed above, and for 10,000 years prior to whites, there were no waring factions between tribes? Sure, I believe that. Tribal invasions have always involved terror. So shoot that one down.

["Our military wouldn''''''''t be strained to the breaking point." - they might have been underfunded & weakened like they were under Clinton which lead to 9/11]

led to 911? really? check this out:

Here was Secretary Cheney, testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Jan. 31, 1992:

"Overall, since I''ve been Secretary, we will have taken the five-year defense program down by well over $300 billion. That''s the peace dividend. %u2026 And now we''re adding to that another $50 billion %u2026 of so-called peace dividend."

Cheney then lit into the Democratic-controlled Congress for not cutting weapons systems enough:

"Congress has let me cancel a few programs. But you''ve squabbled and sometimes bickered and horse-traded and ended up forcing me to spend money on weapons that don''t fill a vital need in these times of tight budgets and new requirements. %u2026 You''ve directed me to buy more M1s, F14s, and F16s%u2014all great systems %u2026 but we have enough of them."

We are already in a mess in Iraq and Afghanistan. We don''t need to be trying to police another country. Let this idiotic dictator bring his country to ruin. Because, believe me, when the people REALLY GET TIRED of a leader and 95% or more of the population is unified, it is just a matter of time when this man will be taken off the earth. But it will come down to those in his country.

I''m surprised Bush hasn''t tried to give Zimbabwe "free trade" with America like he did China, the worlds worst human rights abusers. If Zimbabwe only had a billion peasants for U.S. fortune 500 companies to enslave, all would be wonderful in Zimbabwe and a marketing campaign would be on to improve the image of Mugabe.

To Nancy Naive:

I could not have said that better myself. You pinned the tail on the donkey. Time to let the African Nations lead themselves. Time to let go of their resources.

It''s soooo comforting to see that a crisis on another continent can evolve into a political snowball fight here, having NOTHING to do with the topic.

Makes me PROUD to be an American!

Mugabe''s spokesmen say, "The West can go hang." I say, "Mugabe can go hang."

I hope a predator takes this clown out....and SOON! He clearly has no honor, no scruples, no soul. I had no idea that a democra-tatorship could even exist. If you don''t like the outcome of the game, change the rules? Unprovoked attacks on the people you claim to represent? The remedy is best described in a famous lyric:

na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na
Hey hey hey
go-od bye!

Just goes to show two things.

1. The Africans at the summit are cowards.

2. Where there is no oil involved - every nation don''t want to know and watch people die.

All spineless cowards to stand up to this illegitimate dictator and his three headed junta.

This sounds alot like the spew you get from the KKK clansmen:
"President Mugabe makes the entire Africa proud. Standing strong in the face of evil is something many are scared to do. he is doing it with so much passion, because of us, he want the African people to stop being exploited by the pinks "whites" who are notorious for exploitation, child pornography, bestiality, slavery, racist invasions of countries, terrorism, the gay disease and all evil things of this planet.
President Mugabe thank you for what you are doing for us, you are our eternal legend and will always love you forever. pinks "whites" will always be a virus threatening our entire race. Therefore any attempt by them to meddle and push their evil agenda will be resisted.
I wish their evil father the devil can take all of them back to hell where they all originally from.
