It's clear Mugabe has gone around the bend. One well directed laser-guided bomb will end this nonsense.

I think Mr. Mugabe's syphalis has gone to his brain.

Mugabe was a Maoist to start with, when he staged his revolt. For some reason I've never seen explained, he behaved himself years. Then suddenly he started behaving like a Maoist again.

Mugabe will do anything to prove the blessings of colonialism.

Mr Mugabe said that the Government could acquire service stations and storage facilities, compensate the companies to which they belonged and dispense the fuel. I see Mugabe wants to now work his magic on the energy industry after doing so well in agriculture.
Who will run the service stations, veterans or his relatives?

Well now that they are involving American oil companies, Mobil, perhaps now President Bush might take an interest in squashing Mugabe like the cockroach he is.

I should point out that hitherto that Zimbabwe hasn't been threatening American interests directly - by doing this, Mugabe just changed all that.

We seem to be watching Atlas Shrugged played out in real time (or, is it the Fountainhead? Haven't read them in a long time, too long).
To: MadIvan
Telling Mugabe his idea is "unconstitutional" is supposed to stop him? It will have as much impact as Candide telling the South American cannibals that eating people is unchristian.

Well now that they are involving American oil companies, Mobil, perhaps now President Bush might take an interest in squashing Mugabe like the cockroach he is. I'm afraid that there is a limit to how many foreign involvements even America can take on. And talk about a p.r. disaster--making war on a black nation led by a black man would be ruinous for Bush politically. I don't think you should hold your breath waiting for this to happen, Ivan.

Better that they walk off from those assets as fast as they can before Mugabe has them over for dinner!

We seem to be watching Atlas Shrugged played out in real time I've been thinking that for awhile myself!

Better that they walk off from those assets as fast as they can before Mugabe has them over for dinner! Considering the food shortages and Idi Amin as an example, that might be a literal truth.

Has anyone checked his refrigerator recently? You just never know these days. Ah, the joys of multicultural culinary habits!

I don't see any compelling US interest. No reason for us US to take on the risk & expense of disposing of this nutjob. But what if the oil companies raised an army themselves? Just a thought.
