just because they wish for a better society than the one Mugabe is providing. The conditions there are getting worst, when basics like soap/toilet roll are now so expensive...and jobs so scarce.....and if you speak out your beaten up or worst shot....what can we do as a an affluent society....we can no longer close our eyes as to what is happening in this once beautiful country.... Can you blame anyone from this country coming here legal or illegal...PS I am white scottish for all the racists......and fully support all Zimbabweans...

Long long ago, there was this country called Rhodesia that was owned and operated by the British who got fed up with running it and tried to hand it off to the locals.
20% of the locals were white and 99% of the land and money was in white hands. Britain wanted to give it to a democracy but the local whites knew where that would lead - as indeed it has.
Ian Smith took control of the country to keep it prosperous, thriving (yes, I KNOW it was a racist society - so is Israel) and the whole of the rest of the world imposed sanctions on Rhodesia. Eventually the rest of the world got what it wanted and Robert Mugabe became a dictator and Rhodesia changed its name to Zimbabwe and became one of the poorest nations on earth.
The moral of this story is that when people interfere in other countries, the consequences can be wildly unpredictable. Or only too predictable- depends on your viewpoint.

Unfortunately, while Robert Mugabe is voted in by his own people, the world is helpless. And he doesn't threaten any other country (unlike Iraq, with its supposed weapons of mass destruction.)
The people of Zimbabwe should stand up for themselves and overthrow their government if they are that unhappy. Easier said than done, I know.

Stevie wished to kick a pup, yet his mom knew extra desirable than to enable him have a pup. He wished to shoot a squirrel, yet his dad had taken away his BB gun till now. He could've pushed his little sister down the stairs, yet she became into spending the night at Grandma's. and then it hit him, quicker than a sock to the jaw from a Dalek! in basic terms one element could convey lower back his delusions of power. So Stevie went as we talk to his room, logged into his Yahoo account and spent the subsequent 17 hours with down-became thumbs and a record-chuffed set off finger.

what the hell are you talking about ? America and England are the ones who put that S.O.B. in office, the blacks were not happy when they had a good economy, they wanted a black in office so I say let the damned idiots starve, maybe the next ones who have a white prosperous country where they can eat will take notice,

I agree with you by why should it always be left to the Americans and British to intervene? Why don't the decadent Eurolanders lend a hand for once?

I agree, but we did the same thing for the Iraqi people and are now viewed as war mongers and haters.

We are not the world's police force dear. The people need to take a stand against him themselves.
