If the whites have to leave they should burn their homes and farms and take whatever they've worked for that they can. It's all going to end up being nothing anyhow, but these looters shouldn't be rewarded.

The remaining farmers should just walk down to the local bank, take out a HUGE equity loan against the value of the farm, get on a plane to where ever, and leave Mugabe with a worthless farm with a huge unpaid loan against it.

Ah, ther's the rub!

Would you lend money against a farm slated for expropriation without compensation.

In fact, that will be one of the factors contributing to famine. The farmers will not even be able to borrow to buy seed stock and fertilizer.

Not quite that simple, but I know what you mean. One of the strategies that South Africans have used to escape South Africa during the last 10 years include taking out a loan to buy equipement in the US, but instead of having the equipment delivered, sneaking out of the country and taking possession of it in the US.

They, just like the Whites of Zimbabwe, are not allowed to take anything of value out of the country.

It may surprise you but the US has similar laws. Just try leaving the country with a large amount of money. It will be confiscated, and you will end up in jail. So much for the land of the free huh?
