Robert Mugabe-Zimbabwe and the Common Wealth
What about this dude? I am not one who advocates killing, not in a serious sense. But this dude should have been removed LONG, LONG ago!
Didnt the Hitler styled Tache give the game away?
This is my opinion on what was once known as the British Empire.
All the peoples who were part of our "glorious" Empire, were by and large enforced members of a club with very few benefits for the locals. We took natural resources, and offered them "protection" in return!
Protection from other would be evil oppressors! (cos that's what we have been)
We exported other human beings as slaves, treated locals as dirt and did all this feeling proud of ourselves.
In my opinion, we as a nation OWE the former colonies a great debt! Not the nations, but the people of those nations. To me it would do far more for world peace if we built roads, hospitals and schools. AND its much cheaper than war... ( I just threw that in case any hard nosed economists have accidentally stumbled over the page!)*
Part of this debt is due to the fact that we robbed soo many nations of generations of growth and knowledge by our actions. It has helped the likes of Mugabe to take power and keep it by using brutal methods we have exported for many centuries!
By simply sending Builders, Farmers, Teachers and Doctors to Zimbabwe, with soldiers to protect them, we would have freed the country from his tyrannical grip by providing food, health care, homes and most importantly of all the freedom education gives you. The power to know you have a choice and a right to determine your life without fear of being murdered or brutalised by a government! The people of Zimbabwe would have thought of the British as being people of their word, long overdue, but better late than never!
I dream that one day, we British(That's ALL the people that live here) will live up to our self image! That of fair and decent people!
A fair and decent person would not leave innocents to suffer at the hands of the guilty!
That's why we should have protected our former subjects from this man!
Former subjects, people who have contributed greatly to OUR UNcommon Wealth! Cos its not every country that has what we do! But more than that we have such ties to the rest of the world that it is impossible not to realise that we are talking really of FAMILY!
*= Well... there is alot of money in war for weapons manufacturers, less during peace time. Witness that every now and then Western powers embark on wars! This is at the behest of said manufacturers....... This situation was forewarned by none other than General Dwight D . Eisenhower, "the industrial Military Complex" Go check it out and see if this man was not sage!
