When he becomes the leader of nothing left? And where is his paycheck coming from, by the way?<BR/><BR/>That's what astounds me about totalitarian regimes. After awhile, when everything is in ruin, then what do they think will be left to do? Rebuild the country and then destroy it again?Altheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905812375181816788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034537378568183297.post-23097909427888839852007-08-01T17:03:00.000-04:002007-08-01T17:03:00.000-04:00They have it exactly backwards.

Now that most of the whites have been driven out (and Indians too, if I'm remembering correctly?), he's moved on to abusing blacks, because that's more or less all that's left. <BR/><BR/>I think the African leaders won't criticize him because to do so would be a sign of disunity.

I asked them why Mugabe would allow Zimbabwe to go to financial ruin. They said that Mugabe was trying to please the white people who put in him power. <BR/><BR/>I was stunned, since I knew that whites were pushed off farms. The subject was changed quickly, but it was revealing to me how Africans veiw the situation.Altheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905812375181816788noreply@blogger.com
