I can only wonder where the U.N. is during this build-up to tradegy. Perhaps they are completly occupied with The Balkans and Israel? Trying to foist the ICC on the world? You know, important stuff.

Yet in his opening-of-parliament address last week, Mr Mugabe said: "No one can fairly blame us for the situation of want, naturally caused." He accused Britain of "using the drought to try to undermine the country's sovereignty" and proclaimed the land-reform programme "an unparalleled success story".

Hmmm, Britain, a basically socialist nation, has done nothing yet to help a brethren nation. Don't worry thought. Communist party headquarters in New York will pass a resolution blaming the "wealthy" United States and demand we send 100 billion bucks to bail out the commies as usual in Africa.

"It is not only the farmers who are losing their homes. The law requires all farmworkers to leave, too. More than 76,000 have lost their homes and livelihoods since February and more than 500,000 will be homeless by August 9.

And as the owners of these farms were thrown off, they were required to give severance pay to the workers who were also thrown off the land. It is indeed Mugabe's Famine! That he says otherwise is of course a lie and if he won't step aside, he should be forced to do so any way 'they' can make him.

And these people have not rebelled why? Contest in court against a jury rigged system? Please, what do they expect to get or find? This is rediculous. If you want your land fight, otherwise die from the very starvation you were afraid to fight and die against.

I would not give 1 penny for food aid. I would happily advocate giving 20,000 AK47s and a few million rounds of ammo for the overthrow of the resident dictator. In the short run, the AKs would also provide the means for the starving to get food from those in power.

Let's airdrop in a couple of thousand M-16s and plenty of ammo. "Now you can fight. Let's see if you do."

If most of the country starves to death it would make it easier for the next door neighboring countries to send in armies to take the land away from Mugabe.
