Question: When do we start bombing?

I wouldn't want to waste the cost of one 500 lb bomb on that sh*t hole. Yes, it's fustrating to read the news coming out of that horrible place, but history has shown us that there can be no 'civilized' Africa. They are animals, let them kill each other off.

While your take on the situation is tempting, I don't agree. I lived and worked in the boonies in eastern Africa for almost 2-years and there is a lot of reason for hope for Africa...but real change may not occur in my lifetime.

Africa's problems are many, but there remains tremendous opportunities, both in human and natural resources. Africa will never free itself of seemingly insurmountable problems until African nations start getting rid of lunatics like Mugabe.

If there is no such thing as a civilized Africa, then tell me about Rhodesia. I long for the day Rhodesia is restored and the green and white flag flies over Salsbury again.

No, they are not animals. They just must made the mistake of listening to the advice of western intellectuals that told them that socialism was the quickest way to develop a backward nation. If we do not want to see such misery and evil in our world, we must spread the word that socialism is unadulterated evil and produces only starvation and misery. We must be proud of the market system and rule of law because IT WORKS and because it is moral.
