Zimbabwe -- Mugabe blames Britain for food shortages

Did he mention Britain by name, or does "sinister interests" mean that to everyone?

[john in missouri]

A defiant President Robert Mugabe vowed to continue seizing white-owned farms, blaming drought and Britain, Zimbabwe's former colonial power, for food shortages that threaten half the country with starvation.

Truly unbelievable.

[SouthernFreebird]

Hey! I thought it was our fault......aren't we responsible for what ails the world? Just who the heck does Britain think it is trying to muscle us out ....I don't this..... I don't like it at all.

[demkicker]

Mugabe's been trained well. He's taken page 1 from the DNC manuel... Create the havoc & offer the sinister solution.

[Restorer]

saying almost half of the some 5,000 white-owned commercial farms have now been transferred to blacks.

Uhh, guys, you can't eat dirt.

Well, you can, but it isn't very nutritious.

[river rat]

If there are not enough citizens within the nation to overthrow or kill Mugabe and his thugs --- then the nation is not worth saving....

The silence from the U.N over the murdered WHITE farmers, is deafening -- the U.N. is nothing but a marxist turdworld scam gang....
Semper Fi

In a related story, black community activists blame inaction by Cincinnati's "racist" police force for an upsurge in black-on-black crime in the inner city.

Oh, we'll get more of this type of behavior and this type of complaint, both in Africa and here at home. And why not? We do nothing but provide incentives for it.

See what happened to Haiti when the blacks took over. Famine, disease, death.

I'll give the whole of southern Africa 30 years and then it will be a vast unpopulated wasteland ready for mass immigration from Asia.

Mugabe must not have gotten the memo. It's all America's fault, everything. Every woe that has ever plagued man is our fault. Famine in Zimbabwe now, the Flood, Sodom and Gemohra, all America's fault. Can somebody send a NY Times columinst to Zimbabwe to educate this poor fellow.

The loathsome miscreant continues with a Stalinist purge of Freehold farmers. But the funny thing is that your headline, at least, is a correct placing of blame: Mugabe blames Britain for food shortages

Had the damnable Government of Harold Wilson, simply acceded to Rhodesian independence in 1965, there would be no food shortages today. The "Jewel of Africa" would still be exporting food to other lands. It is only because Wilson rallied international socialists to his call to destroy Rhodesia, that Rhodesia gave way to Zimbabwe, and sanity to Mugabe.

None of that solves anything now. But it is well that we do not forget what happened. The battle between individual responsibility, cultural tradition and private property, on the one hand, and Marxist and Egalitarian fanaticism on the other, which tore the Twentieth Century apart, still continues.

You're not supposed to state these things in such a blunt, no-nonsense fashion. It is required that you ignore and dismiss that which appears obvious. Surely there must be a "less offensive" explanation.

Now please report to your nearest culturally-sensitive indoctrination center for a re-education program stressing the well-known and accepted fact that white men are responsible for all that ails the third world.

You got a deal! I say w/i 10 years, and it will look and be as politically/economically viable as the Dem. Rep. of the Congo.

Am I the only man in America who lives by what is written in the Bill of Rights?

Am I the only American-American in America?

Not immediately. It actually remained fairly prosperous for several decades. In 1810 it was still among the wealthiest areas of the world. What really killed the economy was the long-term slide in sugar prices caused by increased production in other parts of the world and especially sugar beet subsidies.

The misgovernment by the natives certainly didn't help any.

Incredible. Is it possible Mugabe has some kind of dementia-inducing disease, say, syphilis?
