#2 Hah - brilliant! Trust Oz to tell it how it is.

"This is a country that used to be the breadbasket - the food bowl of Africa - a major exporter of food and under his regime he has simply decimated agriculture," Mr Downer said. "And they are begging now for food."

Mr Downer is almost correct, 'decimate' means reduce by 10% (from when Roman legion mutineers were decimated, and notoriously, Crassus with his own legions, when fighting Spartacus). Mugabe has done an awful lot more than that.

Nail the bastard. .50 cal will do...

#3 Just killing white people, who built a beautiful productive land, running them off their farms without recompense is no big deal.
