An armed response from the West is exactly what Mugabe wants. His
world view is formed by a mixture of Marxism and syphilis. He won't
come off the pool table and if Whitey takes him off the pool table
then it BE WHITEY OPPRESSIN' him. Western lefties will overlook (like
they haven't already) the butchery and madness that has already taken
place and get back to the old hymnsheets.
Show us one, just one, example of any English lefty who is not appalled by
Mugabe. You imagine that a lefty literature of apologetics has sprouted but
the English left-right debate about Zimbabwe died down in the days when
Zimbabwe was still Rhodesia. The person who set up the arrangment under
which Mugabe took power in 1980 was Lord Salisbury, very much a rightie and
a Thatcher luminary and Churchill's son-in-law, who boasted about his deal
"I can pull rabbits out of a hat" The people who are beng myopic about
Mugabe are the populations of other African countries who like him because
he tells the West to "go hang." (I read this in the paper -- not the
Forward -- yesterday). But can you really blame them? They like African
"statesmen" who antagonize the West because they get virtually nothing of
the West's foreign aid handout and need it the most. This might change under
the next U.S. president.
