Secondly, this guy makes a common mistake that plagues any attempt to rectify the sitation: in the midst of discussing the brutality of Mugabe, he says: "there is a lot wrong that the whites did in the past that needs no repeating here".
Oh? Like what? Bringing electricity, modern medicine, modern farming techniques, modern communication, and modern transportation to a nation in which the indigenous inhabitants were literally living in the stone age? For creating a thriving economy that employed hundreds of thousands of blacks...allowing them to live at a much higher standard than ever before (and probably ever will again)? For insisting on a voter franchise that would prevent the ignorant masses from electing someone like Mugabe who would destroy the nation in a power-mad tantrum?
The reality is this: the whites in rhodesia have nothing to apologize for...while the blacks in Zimbabwe owe the whites for quite a bit...and the whites are being repaid with a vicious ethnic cleansing campaign.
Robert Mugabe isn't fit to shine Ian Smith's shoes...and any comparison of the two (or their governments) is an atrocity in itself.
