Mugabe thinks he's Stalin. His purge of the white farmers is much like what Stalin did to the kulaks, the forced starvation included.

I thinks there's more than a passing similarity. As I understand it, the true agenda behind Mugabe's "land for the natives" rhetoric is that by destroying the only productive farms in the country, he assures starvation will follow. Starvation means that he who hands out food has power. Mugabe is handing out food to HIS political supporters (and no doubt there's plenty of bribery going on in the process) while letting his opponents starve.

Essentially, the seizure of the predominantly white-owned commercial farms is a thinly-veiled scheme by which Mugabe destroys those segments of the native population that oppose his political rule, and he's accomplishing it by hardly firing a shot. Stalin would be proud of him, as would Pol Pot, Hitler, Mao, and every other murdering tyrant who ever lived.

Colonialism is the excuse for Africa's problems; power-hungry tyrants like Mugabe are the underlying cause of them.

Why doesn't that pansy Blair get off his ass and ship a few thousand rifles, hand grenades, ammo, etc., (along with a few SAS "advisors") to the poor starving b*stards, so they will at least have a fighting chance against this monster who would starve them to death maintain his iron rule?
