its very sad indeed to witness whats going on in Zimbabwe at the same time watching so called african leaders from neighbouring countries like South africa,Tanzania,kenya, uganda,mozambique,malawi,namibia etc behaving like pimps. this reminds me that in africa its only white kings and dictators that are not allowed to kill, abuse, torture and bancrupt the country. in case you happen to be black feel free to do as you wish and those so called leaders of black mafia country club will always find a way to look the other way and pretend that they are so busy finding a solution by talking to a fellow dictator knowing they too have dirty hands which can not be washed by pointing finger to "HIS CRAZYNESS MUGABE" MAY GOD BLESS THE GOOD PEOPLE OF ZIMBABWE.. BILL. KANSAS CITY. USA.

Mugabe is in the midst of a titanic struggle, with himself. The forces of evil are waging and winning the war against the forces of good and this has manifested itself in the beleaguered mentality that is so apparent. The forces of darkness are prevailing, somebody needs to do SOMETHING!!

Like, take him out? Even if every sharpshooter descended on Harare and got him in their sights, this wouldn't stop the runaway train that is his joint command. This will end in so many tears for such a long time, just look at the Burmese model, his favourite holiday spot. If the military can pull it off there, why not in Zimbabwe too?

Whilst I agree with most of the writer's comments, I hold a different view about the Zimbabweans doing nothing except worshipping Uncle Bob for a long time. Maybe I forgive the writer as he seems to be missing some historical and political developments and points from Zimbabwe. The Zimbabweans have been doing their best to express their political feelings, demonstrate their democratic and constitutional rights but Uncle Bob and his ZANU (PF) band are just crooks. To begin with they swallowed and killed ZAPU through the Unity Accord in 1987 and Zimbabwe became a one party state, no opposition. Some few years down the line, Edgar Tekere who crossed side by side wit Mugabe to Mozambique to take up arms for liberation struggle, defected from ZANU (PF) sighting corruption and lack of democracy from ZANU PF government. I vividly remember him saying "democracy is in the intensive care unity and Mugabe is surrounded by political sharks”. In 1990, Tekere contested in the Presidential elections on ZUM ticket a party he had formed. Close sources had it on record that ZUM won against ZANU (PF) resoundingly but because Uncle Bob with his MR (Master of Rigging) pulled his rigging card and the results went his way. In 1995, Uncle Bob made the biggest ever mistake by awarding "O" (War) veterans a package of $50,000 at the back of significant increasing inflation and food prices. Zimbabwe Trade Congress of Trade Unions through the leadership of Morgan Tsvangirai as a Secretary General mobilised the working class for a labour unrest in the form of "stay-aways" the first ever demo to be staged by workers after independence and the whole country was paralysed. In response to the stay away, Uncle Bob and his ruthless government (uniformed forces included) came hard on the people and lives were lost in police shoot out. In between this period to 1999 when MDC was birthed, there were demonstrations by the people of Zimbabwe including the Constitutional Referendum that gave a rude awakening to ZANU (PF) as Mugabe tested defeat from the public for the first time. To prove that he is a person of force and selfishness, he released his War Vets to grab land and from that period, chaos caused by this group is the order of the day. In 2000, people voted against Uncle Bob’s government but again as a Master of Rigging, did what he knows best to enable his group to continue with the racking the country’s economy through their reckless policies and corruption tendencies. What happened in the recent election and happening during this time need no one to explain. We have all heard him announcing his character in public that he is a war monger and he is ready to fight, one wonders with who against who. Zimbos Mugabe, minus Mugabe and his cronies, I salute you for your patience, resilience, brevity and courage that you have displayed through the years. You gave the enemy a long rope to tie himself and he did it.
