Zimbabwe tells white farmers to leave

[Mandinka]

Hi X,
I won't bash on about this , my post only mentioned Israel since it is a very controversial war-torn area in which ridiculous things take place on a daily basis. But the World's most prominent power displays a very sympathetic stance to their treatment of the Arabs.

I'll let you into a secret as well, I hate Jews almost as much as I hate Arabs , which is not at all. It is how one acts not what one is that defines them as monstrous and objectionable.

Back to the topic , Mugabe did very badly in the last general election in his country , although he is a billionaire he refuses to lend money to his own people. His treatment of the whites is not technically racist though - it is based on greed of power - his policies are very popular amongst the very poor in Zimbabwe - thus ensuring his longevity.
I heard Mark Mobius (head of the largest venture-capital fund in the world) speak on the topic of debt cancellation recently ,which Mugabe is of course insisting on. Mobius was of course correct in his assertation that Mugabe and his cohorts were directly responsible for the accrual of a large portion of those debts through ridiculous military spending (as well as pocketing large sums for himself) and could see no reason why Mugabe would discontinue such policies in any case.

Ahem, time for my two cents...

While I think Zimbabwe's President Mugabe is a tyrant and a despot who is using the land issue to hang on to power and divert attention from his failure as a President, the issue of land ownership and the problems that Africa has today as a result of colonial rule must be addressed in a radical way.

The land that these white settlers 'own' was stolen from the people and must be returned to the people. Most of Africa's other problems are imported from colonial rule and Western influences. I'm sure all those arms dealers in the West are making a killing on all those dirty wars going on in Africa - especially in Congo.

Oh, Hardgainer, I suppose that you're willing to leave Australia so that it may be returned to the Aborigines??
Puh-lease, every land was taken from some group of people who couldn't hold onto it.

Hardgainer ,
Actually the British government was engaged in arragnements to settle that issue with Mugabe's government before the land seizures. I think the idea was that the people as a whole were gonna be compensated via aid packages , sounds fair(er) to me.
