- Mugabe is just sharing the wealth. If it ruins Zimbabwe and kill its people so what. It is the thought not the result that counts.

- You people are right, leave Zimbabwean people to Zimbabwe rule. The place at one point in time was the breadbasket of the world, that''s gone, now leave it to itself and Mugabe.

- Mugabe is yet another in a long line of tyrannical state leaders who oppressed the people and ran his country into the ground.
Yet, the sheeple still clamor for government officials to ''lead'' them, as if they were blind, thoughtless lemmings. Pathetic. - Reply to this comment
- Condo Rice is entitled to an opinion as much as anyone. However, from her involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity around the world, her credibility on this one is zilch. The rest of the world would agree that it is well past time for Rice to leave. If she tries to travel outside the country after January 20th, she could well face arrest and trial in an international court of law.

- Condoleezza Rice is just primping for her political future. She''s got to be the biggest b u t t kisser in the history of America. Anyone who could have stood by George Bush the way she has is unbelievable. She reminds me of the "house" description in this Malcolm X speech.

- The conversation was about a murderous thug, plundering a nation''''s wealth - not about "life expectancy rates". THAT is what I commented to.
Are you talking about Mugabe or Bush?

That is the point since Mugabe took over he has killed many more and the count is still climbing. His leadership has led his country down a dead end where it is now a miserable death camp of flagrant crime and corruption. In other words there is no comparison. I didn''t see and "Necklacing" before of after the last election here did you? - Reply to this comment
- in conclusion, its okay for liberals for mugabe to do what he does because they think bush is evil..

- Look at the condition of this country under George Bush and 6 years of republicans in the house and senate.
Is our country better off today, than it was in 2000?

can you imagine what would happen within the borders of this country as soon as obama takes over and do what he promised the liberal pro-terrorist voters?? - Reply to this comment
- ow does reducing taxes on the ultra-wealthy, (down to 12% - 15% for most), help our country?
And I absolutely 100% agree on letting the automakers go bankrupt. But WHY was it perfectly acceptable for this administration to enrich Haliburton, KBR, Blackwater, THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT, etc, etc at taxpayer expense?
Posted by IwasHungry68
Hmmmm since I don''t make the upper 2% on the population wages I''m not sure what the impact would be by taxing them more. I do know this if government didn''t have taxes to spend they wouldn''t be able to wage war, payoff large legal/illegal donors etc... with pork barrel projects. Or start large cap n trade scams which like taxes on tobacco go not for the proposed problem but into special interest pockets.
BTW I didn''t vote for Bush and I hope if proven they can apply the "False Claims Act" on all the war profiteers where the government is entitled to triple damages for all false claims. The statute of limitations is running tho (6 years) so if you know of any please report it and the government will cut you in for about 10% could be millions in your pocket. - Reply to this comment
- " The poverty and lack of anything even remotely resembling responsible leadership in sub-Sahara Africa is a direct result of "Western" powers systematically looting the region since the middle 1800''''s; with no thought to the welfare of the original inhabitants.
Those whose resource distribution is relatively even are far more stable, peaceful and democratic than those where the gap in wealth and income is wide and difficult or impossible to cross."

I don''t agree, first you should check out the history of "Europeans" in Southern Africa starting with the Dutch. It''s really one of those hypocritical things. Read the history of the Xhosa and Zulu''s it''s really a case of jealousy and greed on the part of the Xhosa. Also so read up on "the great xhosa cattle killing" where these "no thought to the welfare of the original inhabitants" Europeans saved thousands from dieing because of their on stupidity. - Reply to this comment

Let''s see ummm This is a red herring but let me answer, Mugabe/Zimbabwe life expectancy for Zim''s when he took office 60-70 years now 34-37 years. Bush life expectancy for Americans about 77 in 2000 now 78+. sooo let go for the Neo-Marxist plan, nothing like watching all your childern die. - Reply to this comment
- When speaking of "spread the wealth", are you referring to shipping containers of cash to Iraq?
Or giving the ultra-wealthy and big businesses HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in tax breaks?
Or bailing out the banks?
Or bailing out the automakers?
Posted by IwasHungry68
LOL You do understand when you give business "Tax Breaks" that you are giving you and I reduced prices for goods, Right? That taxes are just passed onto consumers along with handling fees, sooo a $1 tax increase becomes "burdened" $1.25-$1.50 added cost to you and I. You Neo-Marxists just can''t see pass your "class hate" end of your nose.
As far as I''m concerned automakers/unions took their companies into bankruptcy. It''s the Democrats who want to bail them out as they try to prop up $70/hr plus 95% pay on layoff (golden parachute) lifestyle. Let them rot as far as I''m concerned. Same with the banks. - Reply to this comment
- And because I am such a hopeless slave to temptation I will add that however correct Condi is as regards to it being "well past time" for Mugabe to go, she has absolutely no position to say anything given her support of the offenses her boss has committed during his 8 years of misrule.

Posted by brianbwb at 06:49 AM : Dec 05, 2008
Ordinarily I would agree....But I see no way for the Zimbabwean people to accoplish this other than through violent overthrow of the ruling elite. If that happens, and there is a good likelihood that it will, the resulting chaos and bloodshed will probably carry off a good quarter of the country''s population. That''s about 4 million people. It''s inconceivable that Zimbabwe''s African neighbors would stand for that kind of destabilization in the region. There WILL be intervention - of one sort or another.
Posted by louiville2 at 08:36 AM : Dec 05, 2008 Brianbwb is dead right on this point. The poverty and lack of anything even remotely resembling responsible leadership in sub-Sahara Africa is a direct result of "Western" powers systematically looting the region since the middle 1800''s; with no thought to the welfare of the original inhabitants.
And your disdain for the "spread the wealth" philosophy fails to grasp an essential reality about societies worldwide:
Those whose resource distribution is relatively even are far more stable, peaceful and democratic than those where the gap in wealth and income is wide and difficult or impossible to cross. - Reply to this comment
- Such a shame that Zimbabwe has no substantial oil reserves. If they did, Bush would have taken Mugabe out long ago.
Well, maybe not. After all, Mugabe never tried to kill his daddy. - Reply to this comment
