As Nathaniel might say, “can anything good come from Africa?”

The track record sure isn’t good. That continent isn’t called “the toilet bowl of the world” for nothing.

And as for Mugabe the Monkey and his compatriots, they should be offered THIS as a ‘power-sharing agreement’: “You’ll all either get out of Dodge within 24 hours or you’ll get used for target practice.”

sheesh
hes a liberal
he raised taxes
he stole the land and gave it to the poor blacks
he issued welfare
he gave free money away..

I just cant understand why the people dont love him

Oh yea
that little problem of
NO FOOD
NO JOBS
INFLATION AT 1000% PER DAY..
NO ECONOMY
NO GAS
NO OIL

Hell i heard they cant get clean water ..

sounds like obama tested his ideas there,..

What a paradise..

We may not have to assassinate Mugabe. Looks to me, from this photo, like he may be suffering from liver disease. Also, does he remind anyone of Idi Amin? Just wondering.

That’s a picture of Tsvangirai not Mugabe.

Also the picture may have been taken while he was still healing from a police beating.

Sanctions? PBO will ask Mugabe for advice.

I will not be able to attend his funeral but I will be sure and send a nice card saying that I approve.

Anyone who cared would have assasinated the lot and assumed power a loooong time ago. Like most African nations, the only thing of value Zimbabwe had was looted from the hard-working colonists and destroyed.

What was assassinated was the Golden Goose.

Absolutely not! The central tenet of the power-sharing agreement was that the MDC would assume control of Zimbabwe’s police force. That didn’t happen. With both the army and police, Mugabe still retains the ability to impose his will on the population.

Ed said this succinctly — Mugabe will concede only the powers he wishes to concede. Based on Mugabe’s Maoist background and his history of amalgamating power through the barrel of a gun, that’s bad news for the MDC.

Second, this agreement doesn’t give the MDC enough power to restore illegally seized farms to their original white colonialist owners. Mugabe cannot renege on those seizures, as those farms are his only means of maintaining control of Zanu-PF. But, until Zimbabwe’s fertile land starts producing again, the nation will never be able to stand on its own two feet. This will never happen as long as Mugabe is in power.

South Africa really screwed the pooch here. I hope President Obama refuses to lift sanctions.

Neighboring nations threatened to recognize a Mugabe-formed government if Tsvangirai didn’t agree to join. Backed into a corner, Tsvangirai had little choice. The only other option would have given Mugabe the opportunity to hunt Tsvangirai down as a traitor.

This is just sick! If our intelligentsia spent the effort telling us to fight evil that they spent telling us to fight racism, Zimbabwe and the world would be a better place.

Too often on right leaning sites, you read about the need for an objective morality. You don’t need morality to be objective to recognize the evil in Zimbabwe, you just need to care about the people, animals and land of Zimbabwe to see the evil and to want Mugabe out and preferable dead.

Mugabe still controls all the levers of power in Harare:

The ‘power sharing’ agreement is fiction. It gives the ‘international community’ cover to say they did something.

Mugabe has to go, and take his thugs with he when it does.

“We are committed to joining the government of national unity and hope that (President Robert Mugabe’s party officials) are going to treat us as equal partners.”

……….. there’s that “Hope and Change” thingy again.

Good luck with that….
