#1 Not at all surprising. Once the ZANU (PF) party of Mugabe came to power, the candle of freedom and democracy began to be extinguished, and Rhodesia gradually slipped into the darkness of dictatorship and economic decline. Once Rhodesia became the new nation of Zimbabwe, it began its inexerable twentyfive year fall into corruption and total ruination. This was a blatant and sickening betrayal of democracy and freedom brought about by economic and military sactions to include naval blockades, and an oil embargo at the port of Beira. In the end, Rhodesia was 'put down' by OAU and communist appeasment from Whitehall and a floundering President Jimmy Carter fishing for American votes in the forthcoming presidential election. We may have no one to blame save ourselves.

#2 Yo, Besoeker, I think you forgot a few. Carrington, Kissinger, Fatty Soames, Jack Straw and the Royal Family, along with Thatcher, Slopes when they pulled out, thinking it wouldn't happen to them. Bring it on South Africa. Thanks a fucking lot, sweep it under the carpet .

I am almost happy to see this shit happening to the UK. I did say "almost".
