Blair upstaged by Mugabe ambush (RHODESIA WATCH, PART 2)

effectively hijacking the Earth Summit to blame Britain for Zimbabwe's crisis.

Well that assures the UN will get nothing productive out of this conference. That ought to set them back a few months.

[Polybius]

What the West should do is declare Sub-Saharan Africa a "Wilderness Area".

(For our British members, a "Wilderness Area" is a U.S. Forest Service classification that sets land aside to have as little human development as possible so that it may remain in it's primordial state.)

In 50 years, Sub-Saharan Africa will revert back to the way it was before the Age of Discovery.

[SAJ]

South Africa? The next Zimbabwe within 10 years, more likely 6.

Amazing what happens when Marxists rule w/o the benefit of the enormous slave population and resources of the former Soviet Union.

Starvation? A likely prospect, given that Mugubegaipan won't accept GMO food, even as a GIFT

Here's a clue, dipstick. Beggars don't get to be choosers, especially when the beggar has driven off all the productive people. Is your English good enough to say, 'Ayn Rand'? Didn't think so.

Rather like Cubafornia, if you think about it, but they're not quite so far down that road...yet.

[Bogey78O]

Back when we declared war on S. Korea....The USSR boycotted the assembly so they missed the vote.

[nopardons]

South Africa has far more whites, than Zimbabwe had / has. SA also still has blacks who openly oppose the Commie ANC. Will that nation also fall off the cliff ? Unfortunately, I fear that it shall and it won't take 10 years. I just hope that the rest of my extended family gets out of there, in time.

[SAJ]

My best wishes, always, to your family, and I hope that they can leave SA in good order and peacefully (their property is or will be forfeit shortly, sorry to say).

I take exactly zero pleasure in the prediction (sounds, frankly, as if you and I are on the same page).

My sister was just in SA last month, judging a horse show, and she had wonderful things to say about the folks she met.

Inmates running the asylum, and it will only get worsein my view.

FRegards!

Blair, keep your England and let me keep my Zimbabwe," the 78-year-old leader declared to loud applause.

LOL, who in their right mind would want Zimbabwe??? Mugabe, keep your hellhole, Blair doesn't want it. Btw, I'll take England any day, over 99.99% of every other country in the world.

[nopardons]

Many thanks, for your kind regards, re my extended family. WE ARE working on and for them. Mbeki said, well over a year ago, that in three years, ALL white owned property, will be forfit. We know that it's going to happen sooner or later. After all, his dear pal and mentor, is Robert ( damn his eyes ) Mugabe. :-(

[jordan8]

Blair, keep your England . . . Bwahaha, he doesn't know Blair at all!

[Lancey Howard]

What you said.
Bump.

[Lancey Howard]

Why on God's green earth would Tony Blair show up at this bizarre "conference" of jack-in-the-box clowns anyway? For that matter, why would anybody from a civilized country be there in the company of Mugabe and those other animals? I am glad we have a President who knew better, and stayed far, far away from the mindless chaos.

[Lancey Howard]

Yes, South Africa is good as gone, right behind Zimbabwe and heading in the same direction. I sincerely hope your relatives are packing. Don't let them tell you they have no place to go, or that they were born there and it is their country, etc. If your house is burning down around you, you get out as quickly as you can. I hope you can help them make the decision to vacate while they can. Maybe they can sell whatever they have before it is simply taken from them. But they better hurry.

Regards,
LH

[nopardons]

They have NO PLACE TO GO !

They family HAS been there for well over 300 years ! That's far longer, than MOST American citizens can clim. It IS their country ! The West and the media and the UN took it away from them. :-(

We're trying to get them out.

[Conservative4Ever]

Let them have Africa. I agree to get the white farmers out of the country and let the rest to fight, rot among themselves, and to keep our relief money home.

[MadIvan]

Bump!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Zimbabwe's Mugabe Rips Rich Nations - while stuffing his stomach and pockets

Bump!

[OldFriend]

Best part of all. Powell is on his way to the summit.......let's see if he joins those who would attack our beloved country.

[myrabach]

Not only should President Bush stayed away, but the entire US delegation should have stayed away. Great Britain should stay away also... then maybe as Africa goes, so does the UN?

[GVnana]

Does anyone wonder why George Bush didn't attend?

"Here in southern Africa we have one problem and it was created by the British,"

If memory serves, Rhodesians didn't starve. Funny things happen when you burn down your own villages, destroy infrastructures and don't maintain roads.

[eleni121]

Bush's "wisdom" not to attend...

That's the real story here. The wisdom not to mention Bush's savvy when it comes to "Turd" World politics. Blair typifies the wimpy leftist Euro trash outlook on international politics: glaring ignorance of what really is happening. The Left is woefully ignorant when it comes to human relations: the self perceived underdogs will bite the hand that feeds them all the time. Far better to watch who in Africa did not attend or did not condone the thuggish/stupid/self serving comments of these Marxist has beens. Then work with them.
