Might Mr. Barron harbor second thoughts about having brought Mr. Mugabe into City Hall?
“Absolutely not,” the councilman said.

“Does he do things that I disagree with? Yes,”
Mr. Barron said.
But he clearly still regards Mr. Mugabe as a liberator more than an oppressor.

“You didn’t care about black Africans when whites were killing them in Rhodesia,” he said. As he sees it, the real reason that Mr. Mugabe has come under strong attack from the West is the confiscation of white-owned farms.

We can say he is not president or the chief poobah but as long as there are people willing to supply his thugs with arms and ammunition (even sans that, we have seen clubs & machetes will do just fine) he will remain in place and there will be no “civilized” way of removing him from office. Either he dies at the hands of another strongman’s coup or he dies of old age, I believe it will be the former.

What portrait are you refering to?

In a perfect World, bullet in the brainpan, but this World is far from perfect. All that is happening now was predicted back when the place was still called “Rhodesia”. Back then, the place exported 80% of it’s wheat crop, if I recall correctly, and fed a lot of Southern Africa.

Nothin’ like Marxist progress, eh?
