#1 âMugabe is willing to downsize the whole economy just to feed the political elite, a few hundred thousand at most,â said a European diplomat. âItâs a mafia state.â

But evidently not quite enough of a "mafia state" to prevent European leaders from inviting and applauding Mugabe's anti-coalition tirade at the FAO meeting in Rome. I detect a distinct ~~stench~~ whiff of reciprocal political eliteism.

Trotting out this demented hyper-corrupt poster boy for overt governmental decap operations speaks volumes about Europe's anti-American agenda. They might as well praise Iran's Ahmadinejad for his attempts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Pretentious f&%king pansy-@ss wankers.

#2 "Files on everyone"....? how very Congo-Clintonian. I thought Bad Bob's problems would be over when all those nasty colonials aka white farmers left Zim. "China has provided busses....?" Did anyone tell Ray Nagin? Mugabe is "out of friends" and it all started out as... the lovely Lancaster House Agreement, democracy and nation building, etc, fully embraced by the all knowing US State Dept, and Washington political set. All the very best egalitarian intentions gone bad/mad on another African mulitcultural experiment. With or without Leo's flour, they'll all be eating one another soon. Just a point of trivia... Rhodesia supplied more troops per head of population to the allied war effort than any other country in the empire. One in ten of the 8500 Rhodesians of all races who served overseas were killed or died on active service. Suspect we'll not be able to count on those lads again eh?
