I'm amazed that there is such a thing as a business class in Zimbabwe any more. Anybody with any sense and any money would have left long ago.

Why are these people still there? A death wish?

How much longer can these Marxist monsters hold on? It is amazing how hard it is to get rid of these liberals once they seize power.

Abel Muzorewa, a bishop in the United Methodist Church, won the first democratic election in the history of Zimbabwe (then called Rhodesia) in 1979.

The Carter administration declared that though the 1979 election of Muzorewa it did not merit the United States' support because Mugabe was not involved in the election council. The 1980 election, on the other hand, which Mugabe won largely by threatening violence, the Carter administration declared to be "free and fair," and he lifted sanctions aimed at ensuring democratic elections which had been in place since 1966.

Basically, Carter went against lifting sanctions and supporting the election in 1979 because Mugabe the Marxist didn't get his way. Once Mugabe "won" a year later Carter declared everything peachy.

Once the shelves are empty, they will probably be executed for hording.

As if Mugabe deserved to remain in office even one minute past yesterday.

[OldArmy52]

Well, who is going to oust Mugabe? Our Democrat Party?

[Prokopton]

Jimmy Carter was instrumental in refusing to lift the sanctions on Rhodesia after the settlement and the new Constitution and after the election of Bishop Muzorewa. He convinced Muzorewa to agree to new elections after the communist fighters had returned. The new elections were incredibly corrupt with the communists using murder and intimidation on a grand scale. Mugabe won the new election and Jimmy Carter approvingly ended the sanctions. In his first show of magnanimity, Mugabe promptly murdered thousands of the followers of his rival, Nkomo. It’s been a downhill slide ever since. Carter has blood on his hands with his actions concerning Zimbabwe/Rhodesia.

Why do I think that Mugabe and his pals sleep soft and eat only the best food?

I don't see that marks of privation on the old sob.

I wonder the same thing every time I read one of these articles about Zimbabwe (or Venezuela).

[jws3sticks]

Where is this guy when Zimbabwe really needs him to open their future without Mugabe. Mugabe is such an a$$ and simply insane!

[americanophile]

This whole thing is about to unravel. It’s a very sad situation. I can only hope that Mugabe is deposed before it becomes a humanitarian nightmare.
