There are 2 things in this world I hate:
1. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and
2. The Dutch

The BBC has a great shot with a Zanu-PF campaign poster with a pictue of R Mugabe and the words:

THIS IS THE FINAL BATTLE FOR TOTAL CONTROL

Yeah.

The follow through: of Zimbabwe by Zimbabweans is written so small it might as well not be there.

Zimbabwe,Mugabe and Morgan land's politics. Zimbabweans,Mugabe and Morgan must not get influenced by others/foreigners. People in zimbabwe must forge our a new kind of peace among the different political ideologies. They need to free themselves beyond ideologies/affiliations and unite for their own country's better future.The focus of unity should be based on being one nation,one zimbabwean nationality, for one better future for all. This easier said than done. At least ideas for better zimbabwe, should be put forward in forums.

Where are the critics who wanted to invade Iraq to stop the madness and killings? Don't they want to save the tortured Zimbabweans?

Where are the pro-democracy critics who just swore on the "RIGHT THING TO DO" to save a country?

I'm definately not for using military action, but this is virtually the same conditions here as was in Iraq. And the pro-war bunch just sits back and says nothing.

Answer: They are black and there isn't the oil revenues.

The Africans are saying leave it up to us to handle this problem and I'm kewl with that.

But I hear nothing from the saviors of Iraq about the situation in Zimbabwe. < :-)

Zimbabwe for us Zimbabweans is not a struggle for political ideology. Our country was assaulted by south african companies with the help of Peter Hain. Tsvangirai betrayed his own country by taking those companies money to form his so-called opposition party. Iraq and Zimbabwe have nothing in common. Mugabe was not killing nor starving us. We were importing food from 1992 because the only people 'licensed' by the British to produce food in Zimbabwe - white farmers, switched to tobacco at the instruction of BAT et al, and the unused parts of the farms were turned into lucrative safari parks - before yousay "But that's good for the economy" the farmers were being paid in Europe and calling their clients "family visitors from abroad". Mugabe put up with it while Tsvangarai and his thugs - aka the war veterans, were calling for Mugabe's head. Google and you'll be shocked at what you get coming out of Washington think tanks and major news organizations. Your posts about liberating us from Mugabe are disgusting attempts at pandering. Please don't patronize us. Get your facts right before you post.
