#1 The lone comment on that post really frosts me:

"If Mugabe is indeed the West's fault (which is at best arguable in my opinion), the awakening you point out is apparently meaningless to present day leaders in the West. They don't care that the Chinese are proliferating their (communist) propaganda in Zimbabwe and beyond. They don't care that barbaric ammendments are being made to the constitution as we speak.

Don't mistake this for another desperate whimper from Africa for help from the West. I'm just stating what seems obvious to me; that leaders in the west have never cared about us and obviously aren't interested now.

It is up to us, the people to emanciapate ourselves. And maybe, you too in the west will realise the sanctity of human connections and bypass the inactivity of your leaders to reach out to us on the basis of our common humanity."

First he claims not to be whimpering while incessantly whining that we don't care and then that immortal last whinge.

Hey, A Brain, exactly what kind of activity you looking for here? What kind of "caring" would float your decrepit little boat? You want some civilians, or Marines, come over and off-Muggie for you? You want us to come take over and run the dump since you have proven you can't? Or, do you just want that hand that reaches out to contain even more money?

I know which option I'm betting on.

Pfeh!

#2 Actually Mugabe is Zimbabwe's fault. It's the UK's problem, it's their failed state former colony.

#3 You can say we could have and should have done something about it but to say he's "our fault" is ridiculous. He's zimbabwe's peoples' fault for letting a lunatic take over.

Let's stop this blame america for everything crap, it's making me wanna puke.
