"under arrested"? This guy is crazy.--KDP3 (talk) 18:46, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Something needs to be done about this guy, he is running a once rich country into the ground. He is so old and senile, that he really believes what he is saying is true. People are dying for God's sakes, this has gone too far! (Trumpy (talk) 23:25, 12 December 2008 (UTC))
Someone should edit that news article... they spelt dictator president for some reason Signed, an ex-Zimbabwean —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.72.9.25 (talk • contribs)
I am always suspicious of the demonization of foreign leaders. When I was younger I went to Cuba and was able to see with my own eyes how popular and revered Fidel Castro was- he was loved and respected and his place in Cuban history is very definitely as the father of his country. I went to Venezuela and saw the same thing regarding Hugo Chavez. Mugabe threw out the remnants of European colonizers and the West has never forgiven or forgotten. Cholera is the result of a vicious blockade against Zimbabwe, and I am sure the subversive forces of England and the US has been working around the clock trying to bring Mugabe down. Other demonized leaders are Kim Jung Il, Kadhafi, Khruschev. The thing they all had in common is that none allowed Western capitalists into their country to exploit the natural and human resources at will. I don't believe the West gives a damn for the people of Zimbabwe, whether they die of cholera or house maid's knee,the only thing they want is a president who will let them into the country to exploit its resources. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.106.5.178 (talk • contribs)
- I tend to avoid lowering myself into tit-for-tat fights with other commentators, but the proceeding comment has provoked me. The phrase "ignorance is bliss" comes to mind. Firstly, I would like to point out that England is not a sovereign state, it is a part of the United Kingdom - a simple slip of the tongue which often suggests blind faith of political propaganda. Zimbabwe used to be a prosperous country, a beautiful country in the same way as Mugabe used to be a hero, for his part in securing that independent prosperity. However, it is a pity to see how much he has been corrupted by so much power for so long. I would be quite happy to see Mugabe remain as leader if he listened and acted with the will of his people, instead of for his and his party's personal interests -living in luxury whilst children lie dying in the streets. It is only a matter of time before unpaid Zimbabwean soldiers decide that Mugabe is not their master any more, and the country becomes a completely failed state. Millions of refugees will cross the borders into South Africa, and the country that so many Zimbabweans fought to save will be dead for ever.--92.237.92.135 18:24, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- @69 As a Cuban American, son of a exiled family who at one time supported Fidel. I'd laugh at your post and your ignorance. Good day sir or ma'am.--KDP3 (talk) 23:31, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Is it interesting that "69.106.5.178" is an USA ADSL line? For some reason it is surprising to me that someone with so much hatred for the west seems to be in America. --Aled D (talk) 10:53, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
When is this guy going to lose his power hold? I thought having a million percent inflation (or whatever it's up to now), pretty much signed your death warrant. Fephisto (talk) 16:06, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
