		<description>It is obvious that all and I mean all white people should just leave Africa tomorrow. And I mean all and every thing! Every influence that the white man has predicated upon Africans should be removed posthaste .

If we could mitigate the European influence from Africa in toto  all would be well.

In fact I would predict that several African nations would prosper so much so that a few would even have space programs with in a few years.

Whites need to leave Africa today and no cameras or missionaries should be allowed till they invent and produce their own cameras.

Now, mind you they will have a thriving electronics market and industry in less than 10 years as they are so resourceful . if they choose not to advance in that field that is okay because they will create a utopia like they had before those most evil Europeans showed up..

		<description>Mbeki doesn&#039;t want the responsibility of feeding, clothing and housing all those refugees from Zimbabwe. Plus, the daily battles between the refugees and South Africans are causing chaos in some parts of the country. Faced with those realities Mbeki decided enough-is-enough and tossed Mugabe under the bus. 
&lt;strong&gt;No grand gesture on his part. Just good old self-preservation.   &lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Liberia is coming back, they celebrated their Independence Day yesterday, they are poor, and still they are coming back, they are also PRO AMERICAN. I wish they would get more attention and help. They have high mortality rate do to water born disease ect. We are training their police force, the Spanish are training medical people, and the UN are contributing Peace Keepers Blue Helmets, I believe French Troops. You don&#039;t hear about the folks trying to get it right or the vunerable, they are not &quot;Sexy&quot; enough for the MSM, till they have a violent crisis. Much like Zimbabwea. 

Liberia, with American and International Help, could be a shining example of how an effective Government on the African Continent can be run. Liberia is in a tough neighborhood. They are a predominently Christian country.

Liberia it could be Paradise.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The US, UK, and most of Europe can congratulate themselves on keeping pressure on Mugabe and Mbeki.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Are you kidding me? The entire world should hang their heads in shame that they allowed this horror to go on for 28 years.
The USA needs to act in more decisive ways to remove this vermin from the world. Even if it pisses off the world, we still have to do the right thing. Yes, we are the worlds police, by way of the fact that we can be.</description>

		<description>JUstice will not be served without Mugabe getting a strong dose of what he handed out, but his buddies won&#039;t lett that happen for the precedent it sets for their dismissal from power.

The coutry will continue a mess because it has been structurally destroyed.  God help the good guys put things back together again, but they will have to import a lot of brains to do it, not of the tribe(s), either.

I sincerely hope there really is a Hell, even if some people are right and I am headed there from here.  At least I will see Mugabe...</description>

Many wealthy democratic donors were involved directly and tangentially with Saddam&#039;s black market oil. They were quite smart about it in hiding behind layers of corporate and foreign entities. Marc Rich ring a bell?
 The Chirac and Putin govts. were directly involved. It was interesting to watch how Dom de Villepin suckered G.W. Bush into an inextricable situation with sabre rattling and assurances of French support only to pull the rug from underneath Colin Powell&#039;s feet after a face to face meeting where he pledged support. Only to emerge and say exactly the opposite to the gathered press. I&#039;ll never forget the look on Powell&#039;s face when Dom&#039;s knife went into his back. After that you saw an abrupt turn by the dem leadership saying they were bamboozeled into supporting the invasion and the whole Joe Wilson thing blew up. That was put into place and it&#039;s accompanying rhetoric &lt;em&gt;(mis-led into an illegal war)&lt;/em&gt; and spin scripted a year before it was launched.
Very, very evil the democrats plans in this whole deal.</description>

 The Chirac and Putin govts. were directly involved. It was interesting to watch how Dom de Villepin suckered G.W. Bush into an inextricable situation with sabre rattling and assurances of French support only to pull the rug from underneath Colin Powell&#8217;s feet after a face to face meeting where he pledged support. Only to emerge and say exactly the opposite to the gathered press. I&#8217;ll never forget the look on Powell&#8217;s face when Dom&#8217;s knife went into his back. After that you saw an abrupt turn by the dem leadership saying they were bamboozeled into supporting the invasion and the whole Joe Wilson thing blew up. That was put into place and it&#8217;s accompanying rhetoric <em>(mis-led into an illegal war)</em> and spin scripted a year before it was launched.<br />
Very, very evil the democrats plans in this whole deal.</p>

		<description>Cicero43, you overlook the Obvious.  Politics--and every other aspect of life in the former Rhodesia is based on tribe:  Mugabi leads the tribe which constitutes over 3/4 of the population.  Brave Morgan represents a tribe which is nearly all of the other 1/4.

In Africa, this is often the case, as the colonial powers drew borders which suited them but overrode tribal boundaries.  The common result is that many African nations have one dominant tribe with 2/3 - 3/4 majority, and one or more minority tribes

These different tribes--in Zimbabwe and elsewhere--speak different languages or distinctly different dialects of the same language group, have different cultural practices, and are often generations-old rivals and enemies

It could possibly happen that Mugabe&#039;s rule was so bad for so long that his rivals--in and outside of his tribe--could form a democratic coalition that overrides tribal loyalites and identity, but that&#039;s not likely</description>

		<description>Word of Mugabe&#039;s imminent fall is wonderful news! I hope it is true. But, he and his henchmen still deserve to face justice...harsh justice.</description>
