Group Faults Libya's Nomination to Head U.N. Commission on Human Rights***Over the last decade, Libya has detained government opponents for years without charge or trial, prohibited the formation of political parties or independent non-governmental groups, and muzzled its press, according to HRW. In the past, the Libyan government has also been responsible for torture, "disappearances" and the assassination of political opponents abroad.

In its 2002 report on Libya, Amnesty International (AI) said: "Dozens of political prisoners were released, but hundreds, including prisoners of conscience and possible prisoners of conscience, remained in jail, many without charge or trial. "There were further reports of torture and ill-treatment from previous years, where no impartial and thorough investigations had been conducted" and "repeated requests from AI to send trial observers received no response from the Libyan authorities", the report added.***

Is there not one man in all of Africa, capable of shooting this son of a bitch right between the eyes?

If Africans can not seize control of their country, from the thugs and racists - Africa will return to and remain in the dark ages... Western civilization should send food ONLY to those willing to take up arms and throw out or kill the bastards currently in charge.

Why has the U.N. not acted in defense of WHITE MEN'S rights and lives..... A pox on the U.N. also.

If I were a farmer in Zimbabwe I'd buy all the salt I could and plow it into my fields before I left.

When this business, I felt sorry for the white farmers in their disposession. Now all I feel is contempt. Those people won't fight for what is theirs, they don't desreve it. I recognise that they lost out when the country was Rhodesia and I remember how. Now, they are the opressed people and ought to fight.

If I could wave a magic wand, I'd arm all the oppressed people across the world, so they'd have a chance at toppling their tyrannical governments.

I'm wondering about what aide we should send, too. It's a toss-up. Are we looking true democracy square in the face here? The three men voting to rape the two women? I think we should send them get-well cards.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Heck. Plastic mines might be nice too.

Could you just imagine the world indignation if these were white people stealing the farms from blacks. Where is Kofi Annan?

Darn good question.

They can save their money. When the whites leave the land, it will become unproductive as a result of neglect. The new tenents will starve through sloth. For those who will flame me, I remind you of Congo.

Those people won't fight for what is theirs, they don't deserve it.

Tell that to the Chinese people. Tell that to the people at Waco. You can bet your bottom dollar that some will make their stand at their farms. In the end, they will be insects splattering on the windshield. Most will run and forget. But the ones that tyrants should fear most are the ones who know when to run but never forget.

Sloth? Or lack of experience?

It's a little more complicated than that. The "white-owned" Rhodesian farms employed a huge number of Zimbabweans. Now Mugabe ruling a nation on the brink of starvation. What gives?

Is that possible ? I don't know . Doesn't the government in Zimbabwe have all the weapons by now (gun-control) ?Is it possible for the whites to fight when they're that badly outnumbered? No argument from me ,just questions

It's the redistribution of wealth. Old hands know and often love what they are doing. Newcomers don't know what they are getting into.

It is possible for an unarmed, oppressed populace to overcome the worst of tyrants. But that normally occurs in places like Serbia. You know, that group of Christians who made monkeys of the Nazis without any help from anyone, took in the poor Albanian refugees, and were later bombed ruthlessly by Clinton on behalf of the Islamic Albanians?

Sesame Street. Then on to Little Rock to count the kickbacks with some other well-known grifters.

Yes, It is true With faith anything is possible.I still wish that poor folks had some ammo to help their faith.
