Yes, it does. And marxism has been the great tragedy of the twentieth century. But let's get down to a personal level. The situation in Zimbabwe amounts to the basic battered wife syndrome, "He said he wouldn't hit me anymore, he promised!" And then the idiot ends up back in ER again because she didn't want to face the truth.
We don't want to see what's going on. The population of Zimbabwe has enornmously increased in this century due to the white's farming methods and the medicine. Take them out, and watch what happens. It isn't that Zim blacks aren't capable of taking care of themselves, it's because the marxist escape valve has given their "leadership" a convenient way out. Blame everybody else but us and give us the money/food. Of course the money will end up in our Swiss bank accounts (we'll laugh all the way to the bank) and the food will only go to our supporters, but that's your fault for being stupid.
. . .The people's cries for help to a government that they had just elected and indeed kept in power for the past 20 years were largely ignored.So it is in this context that it is difficult to understand Andrew Young, the visiting African-American activist and former mayor of Atlanta.
While Young, an internationally respected politician, is very right to point out that the land issue was paramount and should be resolved, there is no excuse whatsoever for him - a man who enjoys the full protection of the law in his home country the United States - to come here and proclaim that all is well, that there is no lawlessness in Zimbabwe let alone on the farms, as he is quoted as having said.
Surely it should be obvious to a person of Young's experience that the last place he could find out about the lawlessness in Zimbabwe is the State House.
Zimbabweans are tired of international apologists for ZANU PF's current violent campaign and appeal to Young and his ilk to stop trying to legitimise state-sponsored terrorism. Enough is enough.

From the University of California:
Nine banks hid loans, set up false investments and facilitated phantom Enron sales
- Bank executives profited personally from "Ponzi scheme"
- Law firms structured phony deals
- Additional insider trading documented
The 485-page amended complaint lays out the scheme in detail, naming J. P. Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse First Boston, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), Bank America, Barclays Bank, Deutsche Bank and Lehman Brothers as key players in a series of fraudulent transactions that ultimately cost shareholders more than $25 billion.
Less well-known are four of Winnick's Drexel colleagues, now at Toronto-based Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), which provided a healthy chunk of Global Crossing's initial capital. Because of its investment, CIBC, one of Canada's five largest banks, has realized more than $1.3 billion in profits from Global.From www.jewishsf.com
Despite bankruptcy, he's still big donor to Jewish causes

Zimbabwe diamond deals exposed--Former Mossad agent trades weapons for diamonds to Mugabe.
"69. . . a whole network of Israelis was established, including Mr. Gertler in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lev Leviev in Angola and Shmuel Shnitzer in Sierra Leone. In all three cases, the pattern is the same. Conflict diamonds are exchanged for money, weapons and military training. These diamonds are then transported to Tel Aviv by former Israeli Air Force pilots, whose numbers have significantly increased both in UNITA-held territory in Angola and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In Israel, these diamonds are then cut and sold at the Ramat Gan Diamond Centre."Details on the Ramat Gan Diamond Center here:
