Whats important is to never waver from what you believe ,,, for me its the picture of many chipping away at the rock that is the obstacle ,, doing your best to initiate change in your direct sphere of influence and never give up ,cos thats the problem , if we give up thats where the rot sets in ... , ,, the new agers refer to it as the power of the collective thought .. talk wherever possible , give balanced viewpoint stand out in the crowd , again easier said than done but persevere ..........

Well said Sandy, what could very well happen if he does not step down and a coup happens, the West will intervene and Bob and his Generals could find themselves in the Hague for crimes committed against Humanity. So my advise to Bob is go and shut up and keep quite.

I don't think anybody will intervene. zimbabwe has nothing of interest. This is not Iraque.

.... now if they had oil............

Nigeria has oil, doesn't seem to help them ?????

georg ruf jr. · April 03, 2008, 12:56:15 PM

i suppose Iraque is of strategic interest. Iran, cuwait, middle east, former SU, Pakistan and so on

Michael Alexander · April 03, 2008, 01:45:24 PM

Nigeria also has the most populated country in Africa, with over 220 different ethnic groups..... You'd be crazy to invade there...

America raids countries if buiseness runs against them. I don't know what's happening there, but I suppose they're earning enough...
Think of South and Central American countries. They'd 8USA) support any dictator as long as buiseness suited them well.

Thought I would have a browse on the internet to get a better, more in depth look at the "new" guy... this is the link to the MDC website. http://www.mdc.co.zw/ If you think about it, in a country where 80% of the people are unemployed and there is 100000% inflation, how many people are actually going to be able to visit the site.

Personally I think it is a very well developed, informative and impressive site. They got my vote

P.S. I am still trying to find the ZANU-PF site. :36_2_24:

...... and so it begins....

"Harare - Intruders ransacked offices of the main opposition party and police detained foreign journalists in an ominous sign that President Robert Mugabe might turn to intimidation and violence in trying to stave off an electoral threat to his 28-year rule."

Welcome back Keith!

Thanks it really pisses me off when people tramp and cheet on others - always been a supporter of the under dog!

Was called a commie by a lady at SAA who Debby worked with in the 80s because I read the Cape Times (anti Nat newspaper - banned a few times by the Nats - who can forget "the finger" P W Botha the Nat leader) every morning on the train - she though because my surname was Afrikaans (not it is German) I should read the Burger and Vote Nat - bullshit!!

Uncle Bob Mugabe is a cheet, criminal and ego maniac and should go - how can the world allow this destruction to go on!!

Typical of West as long as it is not happening in their back yard they turn their backs and pretend that nothing is happening - maybe only when Bob starts killing people openly will something happen -Rwanda and the Balkans are examples of the West ignoring the pleading for help by the people of those regions.

Wake up West and do something about Bob - sanctions are not working - only hurting the man in the street!

Uncle Bob and his cronies have cooked their goose for not going out quietly - the people will sort him out or is it as the Afrikaans saying goes - "Onkruit vergaan nie" (Weeds never die).

Enough said!

Richard
