#1 Link doesn't work.

Still, it's nice to know someone besides the US (and the Joooooos) gets blamed for something.

#2 In case you were wondering, the root cause here is this: Because the Brits wouldn't buy out the white farmers, and Mugabe couldn't afford it, he was forced to take the land and return it to the original owners.

#3 "return it to the original owners"

who will only use it in the manner of their ancestors - to hunt wild game. Unfortunately, this will not provide sufficient food for the millions of extra mouths who now live in Rhodesia because of their addiction to Western agricultural methods and products.

#5 In this case many of the original owners were War Veterens, some 14 years old who were not old enough to have fought in the war or to have owned the land prior to the white farmers grandparents owning it.

But they were loyal to Bob so they had that going for them.

#6 Mugabe is just another Idi Amin but on a much larger scale.
