In pre 1900s Zimbabwe would of been ripped apart by civil war or invaded by a neighbor by now. I don’t understand todays world. How does a failed nation, stay nation for this long?
Socialists would be embarassed to admit that Mugabe is worse, much worse in *every* sense, than the “racist” Rhodesian regime which they championed to be replaced by native rule.
In the meantime, Socialists coerced Western governments into threatening anyone who tried a military intervention in “Zimbabwe,” even though that is the inevitable outcome.
To paper over their glaring mistake, Socialists will next beg South Africa to invade and annex Zimbabwe...then they will demand that the West give South Africa vast amounts of rebuilding aid for Zim.
It will be yet another example of Socialists being anti-war until they need one (i.e. to occupy and annex Zimbabwe into SA). Kosovo 1999 being another.
It will make for a great campaign 2008 question for Hillary, though.
“Senator Clinton, would you support a South African invasion of Zimbabwe?”
Because no one else wants the place.
