I have friends in Zim and the conditions are horrible. They are frequently harrassed and threatened because they are white and on several occasions army vets have surrounded their house during the night shooting guns and making threats. They have to stand in line for hours for food which runs out before their turn. They recently told me they haven't had bread in over 6 months.

Imagine my shock last week when my son was doing research for a school project on Zimbabwe. I couldn't believe the pro-Mugabe chat at Zim sites. Almost all the posts were pro-Mugabe and virulently anti-American and anti-white. After reading a particularly rabid anti-US post about how power mad we are and how we were going to try to take over Zimbabwe next, I replied suggesting they visit us here at FR and read When the Dungeon Doors Swing Open before judging us too harshly about Iraq.

How do you help people who don't want to be helped?

as i understand it many of the farmers harrased have uk passports

if thats true, then its our duty to protect them by any means nessecary.

The falklands held just 300 uk citizens

yet maggie sent half the RN 6000 miles to free them.

Why is zimbabwe being ignored? And why did chirac greet mugabe so warmly?

If your son wishes to see what is happening, news reports sourced in the independent Zim and South Africa press have been heavily posted here.

I and others have tried to take care that "Zimbabwe" or "Zim" appear in the title of each such thread.
