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.

Good reposte ! Lincoln was a tyrant doesn't know that this is not about race - opposition to Mugabe is composed of all colors. This is also not about I.Q.: there are plenty of blacks there who could whip his intellect up one side and down the other. It is about integrity and values and the extent that some people will go to in order to retain power. That flaw is color blind as history does attest.

"They would not have guns."What difference would that make?
To: quebecois
These farmers should also go on the offensive. They know that ultimately, it's gonna be 'kill or be killed'. Time to take out some of those "leaders" who are behind these atrocities.
But, like most sheep...

That picture just haunted me yesterday.

I'd appreciate being added to your ping list for these articles.

The key question is "have they been disarmed yet"? If so, there is no hope for them. "Call for assistance" is increasingly becoming "call for Mr.AR, or Mr.AK, or Mr.Colt". Anything else seems to be a waste of time and effort.

Whites are a tiny portion of the Zim population. Farmers are a yet tinier portion. Effectives are a still tinier portion.
If farmers were to start shooting the whole of Africa would be after their hides.
A shooting war would be suicide.

"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. "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?

"Why dont these moron farmers leave. Zimbabwe is not their country "This is wrong on so many levels it's hard to know where to begin. First of all Zimbabwe is their country just as much as the country where you live is your country. They have lived there for generations. All they know and love is in that country. Just because you don't understand why they would want to live there dosn't mean their reasons are not valid.
Finally even if they did want to leave, how anxious would you be to start over in a new country with nothing but the clothes on your back. This is assuming that they could find a country that would grant them asylum? I expect that any that wanted to, and could, have already left.
Those that remain may have very few options indeed, and for you to call them morons shows a stunning lack of compassion and understanding. You should be ashamed.

"A shooting war would be suicide."So is not trying to kill your enemy. What is the difference vs what is going on now? If they are coming for me, I'm gonna die knee deep in hot brass.
To: jsraggmann
"..."Call for assistance"..."Were it not illegal, I would go on a crusade to provide these farmers with some serious firepower.
To: Clive
A horrifying article, made more so, by the pictures. Those who do this, are subhuman !
Of course, you are correct, in supposing that nothing will be done about this. They haven't EVER before; why start now ? The same thing is happening in South Africa, and is even less reported upon ; let alone punished.
To: illbenice
Please do explain just where and how they should go. Their money is almost worthless, and you need a visa to get into all countries. The USA won't give them one, and neither will most other counries. If they cross the border, into South Africa, as illegals, they WILL be hunted down, caught, and returned.
You have any other great ideas ... like turning lead into gold ?
To: Hobey Baker
White South Africans
TODAY live behind high wals topped with razor wire and broken glass, and elaborate securities alarm systems on everything. Taxis have James Bondian devices, and fire throwing thingies on their wheels, for some minor protection. Many well educated whites and blacks have already left South Africa, and millions more, would like to / are trying to ; however , that is VERY difficult to do.
Global companies have left, and I doubt that many will continue to stay.
To: wcbtinman
That's easy for you and the other cretins, who keep posting this kind of trash to say. Tell me, WHERE ARE THEY TO GO, AND HOW, WITH NO MONEY, NO VISA, AND NO COUNTRY WILLING TO TAKE THEM IN IMMEDIATELY ?
