#1 I get the ugly feeling that the blood is just beginning to flow in ZimBobway. Reading Mugabe's comments only adds to that that.

This will not end well.

#2 However, the chorus of disapproval has not been heard in neighbouring South Africa, where the Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu strongly rebuked African leaders yesterday for their failure to rein in Robert Mugabe. "We Africans should hang our heads in shame," said Dr Tutu of the largely lukewarm response from African leaders, who have hitherto given Mr Mugabe a lifeline despite his ever escalating human rights abuses. Dr Tutu, who together with Nelson Mandela is widely regarded as South Africa's moral conscience, asked in a statement yesterday. "How can what is happening in Zimbabwe elicit hardly a word of concern let alone condemnation from us leaders of Africa?"

How nice to see Tutu finally reel in his usual blame upon the West for all of Africa's ills.

Kim du Toit is squarely on topic with his stand that it is time to "Let Africa Sink". Let moronic liberals like Tutu see how their pseudo-religious doctrine can somehow fix all (monetary) responsibility upon the West.

Worst of all, it is not just Zimbabwe that is "Africa's Shame". The whole d@mn continent is doomed by its pervasive tribalism, endemic corruption and utter lack of moral fiber. This supremely negative confluence of morally corrosive practices condemns the "Dark Continent" to just that, darkness - complete and total. Other than protecting its endangered species or innocent women and children, do not ask me why anything should be done for a culture of undeservedly privileged manhood whose sole aim is utter destruction.

If I hadn't known better, Zenster, I'd have thought you were talking about the Paleos.
