You're right. The white Belgian devil did destroy my brothers land in the Congo. I tried some honky beer and it tastes like water. I had to add some strawberry sodawater to make it drinkable. It does make me mad that some cracker European trash is trying to buy another american company. Why can't some brothers form a group to buy AB?? I know they have the money from all the pimpin' they do! Hell, they could even invite some athletes into the group. Does MJ drink Bud? How about LeBron and that loser Koby?

I think Mugabe and his milo swill producing company Chibuku should buy up Budweiser and make a good milo beer that you can chew and sink your teeth into. It is part of the reason all the brothers in Africa have white teeth. Plus they use that weed that they scrape on their teeth. If Mugabe got his foothold in the United States maybe he could also produce the next voting machine. He would win even if he wasn't on the ballot.

Ain't it the truth. This guy needs to be taken out with a head shot at 1000 yards. Can you say Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifle? I knew ya' could!

Mugabe can't live too much longer. He is already as senile and probably has Alzheimers. I don't think he is sane enough to plan the stuff that is going on there. I guess there is somebody behind Mugabe pulling the strings. Which means taking him out likely wouldn't do much good.

After what I read today, you are most likely correct. And remind me, why exactly, did the US and UK pull the rug out from under Ian Smith and turn Rhodesia into a slum? Something to do with black "democracy" wasn't it? Yeah, right.

I have many opinions on this after having lived there. I think Mugabe was out of touch with reality already back in the late 1990's. For years there have been people and jounalists that have talked with him and wondered about his sanity afterwords. But somehow he stays in power. It is like having a doddering king with an evil chamberlain who is pulling the shots.

Mugabe may indeed be insane or have Alzheimers, but the fact remains, he has turned what was the breadbasket of Africa into a worthless piece of real estate.
The liberals view about how things are better in Africa without the colonial rule is bullsh*t. IF things are so much better, why are there entire districts in some countries that are entirely depopulated because of AIDS? Why does Africa have some of the best farmland in the world and some of the best fishing off of it's coasts and the people are starving because of a lack of food?
There have been billions upon billions of dollars poured into that continent to help the people live a better life but the corrupt BLACK African politicians line their pockets instead of getting it to the people it was meant to help. You can lay a large part of the blame on the Western governments feet because they did not distribute the aid directly to the people. The rest you can lay at the feet of the people themselves. I, for one, have never and will never give one red cent to ANY African charity because I know that the money will not be used for it's intended purpose.

How in the heck do you know so much about Zimbabwe? Africa is a tough situation but it is impossible to go back to colonialism. I do agree that we shouldn't pour in money there but much of the recent money is going into the hands of drug companies to fight aids with their high priced drugs. It would surprise me if they didn't have something to do with that. I suppose we ought to start a different topic to talk about Africa. It will take "alto cervesa" to continue this conversation.

The reason that I know so much about Rhodesia is simply because I am a history nut. Rhodesia had a good thing going until the British adopted the "No Independence Before Majority African Rule" non-sense. That forced Ian Smith's government to declare independence from England. Then the military branches for the ZANU and ZAPU started the Bush Wars and were getting their asses handed to them by the Rhodesian military until the arms and economic embargoes bankrupted the Rhodesian Front government and forced them to eventually accept majority rule. Nothing good has happened to anyone in that country since except Mugabe's friends, allies and family got richer and everyone else got poorer. Ian Smith died in South Africa on 7 November 2007.

That is because the west supports Democracy. That is why they should get together and take out Mugabe's government now. I am a believer in Democracy and while Democracy is really difficult in Africa because of their culture, they aren't going to get Democracy by being ruled by minority white governments. Africa has a long road to take and it will take patience. Throwing money at it won't help. This Tsvangarai or whatever his name is has paid his dues. We need to run elections for Mugabe.

I agree that democracy will not come from minority white governments. All I'm saying is that it appears that Rhodesia and most of Africa did not have the unrelenting poverty, hunger and disease back then, that it does now. Again it comes down to education. If the people are not educated, they cannot make informed decisions nor can they see any way out of the mess most of the sub-Saharan countries find themselves mired in.

I observed all of that when I was there. I even had a few blacks tell me things were better in the time of Smith. But most blacks didn't want to go back there. It is one of the most shameful things of all time what Mugabe has done with Zimbabwe. I met people there who would have made great presidents and administrators of the country. But under Mugabe they feared for their own safety. We need to take him out. It is not a racial issue, it is an issue of justice.

To the greatest beer on earth, that I found in Zimbabwe if it still exists. I can't even remember the name of it, I guess I must have drunk too much of it! It takes lots of beer to live under Mugabe.

Did you notice that article about the general who told Mugabe that it wasn't only up to him whether he gets elected or not, and that Mugabe was ready to step down and relinquish power. I said that Mugabe was just a doddering old man who other people tell him what to do. I wouldn't be surprised if they told him to walk off a cliff he would do it.
