I salute Odinga and Khama for seeing the light and indeed standing up for fellow Africans. As Zimbabweans we trusted Mugabe but the past ten years we realised he was a confused despot who does not believe in political change. AS you have stood against him it won’t be long that Kenya will be accused of training militia to assasinate him. Mugabe and his advisors are pure evil and they have no solution on how to rescue this country from the quagmire they have created. It’s so sad to see a leader mourning about his travel bans and venting this to ordinary Zimbabweans or to the opposition. Mugabe is a practised manipulator and uses the government controlled media to scapegoat everyone who opposes him. He tries to portray the west as failing Zimbabwe while he knows that he is the failure. I believe all Africans will start to see him as the problem. I salute you once again and may GOD bless you for seeing and caring about Zimbabweans. We shall fight to restore our dignity in the world but we need your support as we are faced with an evil person.

I suppose the Kenyan has been "Bushed," the lessons of the neo-con misadventure in Iraq, notwithstanding.

The riposte from ZANU/PF must be "bring it on" to the Kenyan who, I suppose, knows nada of international law.

Yes sort of like the EU with Georg Haider, Milosevic and others. When you have a rogue leader in your midst you are compelled to get rid of him as he will only bring everyone down to his level. He will destabilize all the countries around him, thus needs to be told to step down.

No, pal: you need a better analogy.

Moreover, may I suggest you read the charter and related documents of the African Union to get a proper perspective on what is about to engulf the region, if the ignorant Kenyan's OPINION were heeded by level headed leaders in the region.

Fri Dec 5 13:41:36 2008

Personally, I thought the analogy was fine. We're seeing the problems with Mugabe's Zimbabwbe spilling into neighbouring regions, with the outbreak of Cholera, plus the many Zimbabweans fleeing the oppresive regime. Why should other countries share the burdon of Mugabe's madness?

Author: jrr562004
Fri Dec 5 16:35:18 2008

Better analogy, why. Ok then Idi Amin. What is about to engulf the region, that is obvious, cholera, hunger, power outs, revolution by the masses against hypocritical despots. I would refrain from calling Odinga ignorant, he is one of the leaders in Kenya and has the right to voice his concerns to the region especially when it will probably affect his country. Belive it or not Mugabe is the laughing stock of Sub-Saharan Africa, their leader may fear Mugabe going, but that is for their own selfish ends not that they actualy care for him.

I guess the new better is worse, ocean wide off base. Idi Amin? Please!

Time will tell what would engulf the region; I am not a prophet; maybe you are. In anycase, I don't give a rat's tail about prophesy.

A few points: Mugabe is not a dictator, period. It is understandable that MT and his epigoni would like to hang that silly tag on him.

You may refrain from calling Odinga "ignorant." Your refrain, however, is groundless.

Accordingly, I reiterate my averment: Odinga is ignorant of the laws and regulations of the African Union and international public law.

" .. Mugabe is the laughing stock of Sub-Saharan Africa, .."

Well. We note that current sub-Saharan Africa is contaminated by lackeys like Museveni, Mubarak, Kibaki, Mogae, Kagame, Odinga, Obasanjo and others like Annan and Marcel. If these are not of the stuff of "laughing stock" to you, then you bear no goodwill towards Africa.

By the way, it should be obvious to you that the west has its own burden of

- diseases AIDS, herpes, psychoses, cancers and life lived with chronic pain (for more than half of USA population),

- hunger (more than 30 million starve in USA),

- crime [a woman raped every few minutes in USA and nearly a million kids raped in UK this year.]

And we have not mentioned West and East Europe or Asia and South America.

Now, comparatively, Africa does not sound that bad afterall, right? Indeed, if it was that bad why would the whites be kicking and screaming all the way to the airports when they are thrown out of an African country? And why are millions of Europeans living in African countries - especially along the east and west coast of Africa?

Get the facts.

Ok…. Fine… I gave you the chance to back down and admit that you were wrong, but now I shall have to show everyone once and for all, through sourced facts that both CHOKORA and JALLOHLAW (shallowhead) are nothing but baseless liars who have no credibility whatsoever. You tell one lie and get caught out, and everything else you say becomes questionable.

You call me lazy for clearly pointing out you have lied. But you are really the lazy one for making things up and not finding out the truth. I mean, all you have to do, as you clearly point out is "All you have to do is copy and paste into your search engine the phrases that interest you. There is a glut of information available. You have no excuses." So you're right… you have no excuses for these lies. I shall now find the truth, and show who is the lazy liar. .

Lets start with Lie 4: nearly a million kids raped in UK this year. There were only 47,000 rapes of women reported in the UK for 2007. (Source http://www.fawcettsociety.org.uk/documents/Rape%20-%20The%20Facts.doc), yet you are saying there are nearly 1,000,000 kids raped. Quite clearly a lie. Even in South Africa there were only 18,000 children raped (source: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_6869/is_/ai_n28549501), nowhere near the 1 million you state for the UK that you sooooo wholeheartedly believe to be a "irreragable truth" Yet you say that comparatively Africa isnt all that bad? Well lets just see. (Source: Source: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rap_percap-crime-rapes-per-capita) Zimbabwe: 0.457775 per 1,000 people United States: 0.301318 per 1,000 people United Kingdom: 0.142172 per 1,000 people Sure looks like Zimbabwe is a lot worse than the United States and the United Kingdom. Care to blame that on sanctions too? . Lets also look at Lie 2: That more than 30 million starve in USA Now there are no statistics on the number of starving people in the USA (so clearly this is made up), but to put it into context, lets compare it with the number of homeless people (an accurate proxy I believe presumably, if someone can afford to have a roof over their head, presumably they can afford to eat. There are were 744,000 people homeless in the USA in 2005 (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/10/national/main2349515.shtml). No where near the 30,000,000 you state. Clearly another lie. Now I don’t have the time nor inclination to look up the other 2, but given you have clearly lied with these 2, its logical to believe that you have lied with the others as well. You simply now have no credibilty here. Remember, you tell one lie and get caught out, and everything else you say becomes questionable. CHOKORA , you say "I shall NO longer respond to your comments" clearly this is an admission that you have lied and have no retort. I've put you back in your little hole where you belong havent I.

Else you would have known that despite the efforts by the plundering whites to cast them otherwise, Al Hajji Idi Amin, Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, Muammar al-Gaddafi and Mwalimu Nyerere are, among others, African heroes.

The Africans are not looking unto imperial foreigners to tell them who their heroes are. And that makes you scared.

African Union should now start putting pressure on Mugabe and begin to isolate him. Greater yet, pressure should be put on Zimbabwe political parties to resolve the current impasse. If national unity is not the answer, then new elections or caretaker gov’t. Zimbabwe’s current economic and social conditions may not be conducive to fresh elections.

It is not the MDC or anyone else so please stop blaming the rest of the world for your problems b/c who is in charge of Zimbabwe and has been for way too long?????Mugabe...... Blame him for your problems so do not get upset b/c other African leaders stand up and say it is time for him too go.

They are in charge Tsvangirai is not in charge so stop the whining about Tsvangirai or the US ,Europe or whoever is caing your problems according to your opinion which is all it is nothing you say has any facts or truth to back it up. The people of Zimbabwe are suffering at the hands of Robert Mugabe and the leadership of the Zanu-pf plain and simple. It does not take any scholar to figure that out. Soon enough Mugabe will be removed along with some Zanu-pf leadership so stick with them but promise you it will get you nowhere but well maybe on trial very soon for all the crimes they have committed against their own people.

Unions and all organizations, citizens, etc. must shut down the government. Every government office, building, traffic, airport, etc. must be blocked/shut down until Mugabe and his killing machine step down. I believe this is best way to end the people pain and end the Mugabe terrior. Zimbabweans, the ball is in your corner...IF YOU REALLY WANT CHANGE, THE POWER IS IN YOUR HANDS!!!

takunya_ndebvu I willl start with post your post once it does not need to be posted over and over to let people hear your biased opinion on Mugabe. You foolish name calling of Odinga and Tsvangirai really shows that you are really showing how childish you really are. Whi is speaking out against Mugabe now it is his own army, doctors and others in Zim who are tired of living in utter hell all b/c of Mugabe's selfishness so they are tired of this and who could blame them. There is no one from Europe or the USA needing to influence the peoples thoughts b/c it is simple they are tired of living with nothing. Zimbabwe's problems are a result of Robert Gabriel Mugabe b/c he has complete control of the country so STOP blaming everyone else for Zimbabwe's problems. He has been in control for almost 30 years. He has been controlling by force and now that control he has had so long is slipping away b/c the people are tired of him living like a king while the rest of the people suffer. Also do not invoke the name of God as an excuse to even make eople is on Mugabe's side. After your usage of words I know how much you really believe about God but anyone can call themself a christian but your one of those who are christian by name but definately do not practice christian lifestyles. God speaks of His wrath also and well Mugabe better change his ways b/c he will experience God's wrath for all the bad things he has done and continues to do....

Unless you have something with facts and truth please I am not wanting to hear your Mugabe supporting opinions anymore! When Mugabe is removed how long will you stick by him???? I am sure you will jump ship and be all for the new change...

Odinga has very little respect for Law.I would suggest that he concentrate of solving problems closer at home, like going into Somalia and putting order there first, then go into DRC and deal with Nkunda. Otherwise he should not sound like an old brass bell, resounding noises of his MASTERS. When Somalia has gone for almost 20 years, he has not mentioned sending in UN Peacekeeping Force, to bring an end to Anarchy in Somalia. Odinga is not sounding like an African, he needs to remember how African culture is, just because he once studied in Russia does not make him an expert, just like George Bush or Gordon Brown. For Ian Khama, his problems are known, it will come out but not from me. Its a known fact why him and Mugabe dont get along. Mugabe's stance on Khama, is 100% biblically correct.

Foreigners conspire to bring harm to the people of ZImbabwe by applying sanctions that cause financial meltdown and untold suffering to the people of Zimbabwe. Odinga piously blames their leader for the foreign-instigated difficulties.

The western countries are currently undergoing a financial meltdown brought about by their own greedy citizens. Odinga does not blame the western leaders or call for their ouster. [Neither are we convinced that he has the capability to observes and comprehend how the west goes about the business of solving their problems - constructively. Why else is Kenya';s economy in eternal recession while Odinga pretends to know the solution to Africa's problems? Does Africa's salvation lie in neo-colonialism as spearheaded by Odinga?]

Is Odinga working for the interests of Zimbabwe and the Africans.

There is a cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe. Odinga calls for the ouster of their leader. Now and then there is a cholera or anthrax outbreak in Kenya. Odinga never blames Kenya's leaders - including Odinga himself - and call for a regime change.

Now and then the ancestors smile upon the African Child and disaster is averted. Africans are discovering the real Odinga. Odinga is a lackey whose time almost came. And never will.

Odinga pretends to speak for Africa. Who elected him into that position? Odinga is an embarrassment to Africa.

chokora, here we go again for all of you Mugabe, zanu-pf loyalist you immediately start pointing your fingers at other people and countries but fail to look at the problem we are talking about ZIMBABWE... I am not saying Odinga is 100% correct in all of his policies but guess what at least he stands up against Mugabe which is more than I can say for many Afrian leaders who are a disgrace to their positions. Many African leaders do not say anything b/c they are corrupt themselves and afraid of Mugabe and losing his money. Mugabe is in charge of Zim as for Odinga he is not in charge in his position so stop blaming the rest of the world for the problems Mugabe has made for Zimbabwe. Get your facts straight those sanctions are agains Mugabe and the Zanu-pf leadership alone so the economic meltdown of Zim can be credited to Robert Mugabe alone b/c he has ruled ZIM by and with force for almost 30 years now. He is in complete control but now people are tired of living with nothing and in fear of saying anything against him. It is funny how you just cannot stand the west but oh how you want our money well it is not our job to make sure you survive but you depend on our money for survival. Thje first thing we say about your politics you go all mad on the west but at the same time have your hand out wanting our money a little hyprocritical do you you not think????

I have lived in the west and trust me a corrupt leader is just not put up with they will be removed from office, try to think maybe they may not make the best decisions in everything but people will not put up with blatant stealing as if that is normal....

The western countries are falling, and soon will be gone. Who will you blame for Zimbabwe's continuing misery then? The same people Africans have always blamed, I suppose: Africans of other tribes. Zimbabwe in 2012 will be like Rwanda in 1994, and there will be no more western powers to blame for it. But then, they will be blamed anyhow, just as the UN was blamed for not exerting its colonial influence to stop the civil war in Rwanda. Or maybe for using its orbital mind-control lasers to make the people mad and crazy. Whatever, you'll get your wish, and then you'll be happy sitting with the other people of Zimbabwe in your mass grave.

Gt, Odinga and Khama should go to hell a thousand times if they think they have what it takes to influence the ouster of our President. Odinga has nothing to tell us about our country because he is not himself, he is doing the bidding for the imperialists who installed him as PM after cold-bloodedly massacring Kenyan for refusing to vote for him president of Kenya.

Gt, just like Prem and Awt_independent are not Zimbabweans and therefore cannot speaking on our behalf. As a Zimbabwean, I will defend my president for standing up for all Zimbabweans regardless of the political affiliation. Everybody now knows that President Mugabe is being punished for daring to dislodge imperialists in our mother land. He, unlike Odinga, Khama, Savimbi, Dhlakama and Tsvingirai, is a Pan-Africanist who has the people of Africa at heart.

The war that we are fighting today, the suffering we are going through and the deaths we are experiencing and have to endure in our mother land, with Mugabe in the lead, are all part of the war to liberate Africa. As such we will defend President Mugabe to the bitter end, with our blood. If Odinga and Khama and Tsvangirai thinks they can use their soldiers and militias to oust our President they should know that we are waiting for them.

We are not Uganda during Idi Amin, we are Zimbabweans during Mugabe's era of liberation and so no amount of demonisation will sway our support for the SON OF AFRICA - ROBERT GABRIEL MUGABE. Incidentally, he has an Angel's name, hence GOD is on his side, just like Moses had GOD's total support.

Your friend Prem says President Mugabe is worse than Amin "given that he drew away millions of his citizens to neighbouring countries..." and that "...he is spreading cholera to exterminate his opponents.", what hogwash and what laugh stupidity. Who in this world is exterminate the African race? Is it not the CIA who have used syphilis against African-Americans? Is it not the CIA who created the AIDS virus that is wreaking havoc in third world countries? Is it not the CIA who have used chemical weapons against civilians in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanstan, and at Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

A few days ago a CIA agent who is embedded with an NGO was predicting that there would be an outbreak of anthrax in Zimbabwe. From where, if I may ask? It means it is them who are creating all these diseases so as to potray Zimbabwe as a failed state and ultimately to use this for their regime change agenda. No wonder we now hear dogs from Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana and the so-called Elders, bucking at Zimbabwe but wagging their tails at imperialists.

Your other friend, Afric35, says that "when someone says anything against Mugabe or the Zanu-pf their followers automatically start associating them with Europe and the USA". Nobody is associating you with imperialists but yourself. The moment you fail to appreciate where all, and I mean ALL, the problems we are facing in Zimbabwe emanate from and you start singing the same song as those who have imposed sanctions against our people, those who are causing the suffering and death to innocent Zimbabweans, then you are, no doubt, part of that CIA/MI5 machine that is destroying our country.

All the problems we face today are a result of Tsvangirai and his masters who do not care a bit about the welfare of the people of Zimbabwe. They do not mind how many thousands of people have to die for them to install a puppet in Harare.

Odinga, with help from the same imperialists backing Tsvangirai, killed 3 000 Kenyans in order to protect imperialist interests and not those of Kenyans. He is the one who should be stoned to death. Why is he refusing to implement the findings of the Commission of Enquiry that investigated tribal violence in Kenya, which, in just two months, claimed the lives of 3 000 innocent Kenyans?

It will not surprise me to hear that Tsvangirai has been offered a training base for his militias who are being moved out of Botswana after we uncovered the plot. After the so-called "Dukwi Refugee Camp" was exposed for what it really is - a militia training base - Khama cannot keep them there anymore, he has to find an alternative base for them. Zimbabweans are going to have the last laugh when we eventually expose traitors and stooges in our midst.

"It will not surprise me to hear that Tsvangirai has been offered a training base for his militias who are being moved out of Botswana after we uncovered the plot." C'mon Cde Ndebvu; that is a bit lame, wouldn't you agree? There has been no evidence whatsover to support this fanciful idea of MDC militias training in secret Bostwana camps and your response is; well they must have moved them!!This is the same patronising approach used by the Herald; it is as if you were talking to children.

By the way, anthrax has been present in northern Matabeland for years - I personally witnessed anthrax victims in the Lupane district in 1979 - so it does not take some mysterious CIA agent to introduce it; all it needs is a war (1979) or an economic collapse (the present) to allow it come to the fore.

Tue Dec 9 10:27:29 2008

So Kazt you tell me that up to now you still do not know that Botswana has since acknowledged that it was and may still be training militias for Tsvangirai. I kindly refer you to an article posted on the ZimSituation website on 07 Dec 2008 but had previously appeared on http://sundaystandard.info.

In this article entitled "Zim spies feared to have infiltrated Botswana", Botswana, acknowledges but goes further to prepare the ground work to deny the obvious - training Tsvangirai's militias. They want to allege that the "CIO agent" and some women married to recruits at the camp must have informed the Zim govt about the training that was taking place at Dukwi Camp, and yet the truth is that the said people are all MDC activists who received military training (against their will) at this camp but do not believe in taking up arms to fight the Zim govt.

Please read the portion I extracted from the article;

"The refugees have also raised concerns about several Zimbabwean women married to asylum seekers from other countries like Angola and Namibia who enjoy free and frequent visits to and from Zimbabwe. They suspect that these refugees, some of whom are married to Zimbabwean nationals, might be passing information about the goings on at the camp to Zimbabwean authorities since refugees from other countries can enter and depart from Zimbabwe legally"

What were or are the "the goings on at the camp" which are worth of reporting to the Zimbabwean authorities and which may suggest military training when there is none?

Tue Dec 9 13:28:47 2008

Cde Ndebvu - thank you for drawing my attention to that article on the Zimbabwe Situation website. Following your advice, I read and re-read the article carefully.

What can I say? No rational impartial person could reasonably draw the conclusions that you have managed to arrive at. There is not a shred of evidence to support what you say. Where has 'Botswana...acknowledged that it was and may still be training militias for Tsvangirai'?

The fact that Zimbabwean spies may be in the refugee camps does not mean that militias are being trained. Sounds like paranoia to me.

Takunya, Why do you continue to post lies? You say that this article that you kindly link us to that: "Botswana has since acknowledged that it was and may still be training militias for Tsvangirai." The very first line of this article shows us that: "Botswana has denied reports that Zimbabwean spies have infiltrated the Botswana system and at least one of them has even had audience with President Ian Khama" There is clearly no acknowledgement by Botswana, and you have clearly made this up. You are a lying fool with no credibility and I continue to find you out.

Author: takunya_ndebvu
Tue Dec 9 13:28:13 2008

Awt_independent,

What do you expect Botswana to say, other than to deny the obvious. You expect them to say that they have been infiltrated and that Khama met one of the Dukwi Camp commanders in Francistown? You expect them to say that they have been training Tsvangirai's militias when the whole of SADC has warned the sellout country of dire consequences should the allegation turn out to be true. That would obviously be suicidal.

Remember the acknowledgement first came from Skelemani when he was being interviewed on BBC programme Hardtalk. He went on to say that Botswana refused to go to Zimbabwe to hear testmonials from those they were training because "evidence should be in Botswana and not in Harare". It was obvious from that interview that Botswana is afraid of being exposed. This is why they are now using the press to say that they have been inflitrated and then immediately deny it. This is also why they are urgently calling for the invasion of Zimbabwe by their masters so that the gathered evidence becomes irrelevant as Tsvangirai would now be in power in Harare.

If you have exposed me as a lair, why did you not answer my question as to what were or are the "goings on at the camp" which the "CIO agent" exposed, which point to military training? Pretty simple, no activitiy at a refugee camp resembles military training and Botswana should not fear anything if they were not up to some sinister intent.

Afterall, they have, at no time, informed the Zim govt of the setting up of a refugee camp for Zimbabweans fleeing persecution.

Author: awt_independent
Tue Dec 9 13:56:59 2008

Takunya, you just dont get it do you.

You said that "that Botswana has since acknowledged that it was and may still be training militias for Tsvangirai"

I then pointed out that the very first line of this article shows us that: "Botswana has denied reports that Zimbabwean spies have infiltrated the Botswana system and at least one of them has even had audience with President Ian Khama"

And now you say "What do you expect Botswana to say, other than to deny the obvious."

You say they acknowledge it, then you say they deny it. Make up your mind!

Then you say it would be suicidal to admit to this, then you say that "Remember the acknowledgement first came from Skelemani when he was being interviewed on BBC programme Hardtalk."

Which is it?

We'll forget the point that Skelemani probably never said these things on BBC HardTalk, as you've been shown to tell lies about BBC HardTalk before. Remember when you falsely claimed that Tsvangirai had called for sanctions on BBC HardTalk?

Now where have they been "urgently calling for the invasion of Zimbabwe"

More lies I suspect. You cant just make these things up and expect everyone to believe you.

As for what went on in the refugee camp. I suspect people are being paid by the Zim government to provide testimony that militias are being trained. Thats my take on it. Desperate people will say anything for money.

Tue Dec 9 23:42:55 2008

Strange argument Cde Ndebvu. You are essentially saying that because Botswana denies the allegations they must have something to hide, it follows therefore that they are guilty of what they deny. Shades of Soviet show trials or some other sinister view of the world. Scary stuff indeed.

Here is some background info on Odinga which you may not be aware of.

Over the years, Odinga has been implicated in several insurrections in which thousands lost their lives and millions were displaced. There was the case in 1982 when thousands died in an uprising in Kenya. When bullets started whizzing by and blood started flowing, somehow Odinga was missing on the front - as usual.

Then early this year he precipitated a situation whereby thousands lost their lives and over a million poor people were displaced. It sis expected that in forur years' time, Odinga will be at it again in Kenya - with intrigues and manoeuvrings and plots designed to fan ethnic tensions and cause mayhem and havoc.

Hitherto Odinga had confined his subversive activities to Kenya. Then over the past years, he made frequent trips to USA, UK and South Africa.

Perhaps the Africa stage grew too small.

Any statements about Zimbabwe coming from the above "prominent African leaders" must be dismissed and viewed as additional attempts to destabilize Zimbabwe.

These stooges are funded by the Anglo-American alliance to effect regime-change in Zimbabwe. They are proxies used by the West for its imperial agenda in Southern Africa. The new strategy of the Anglo-Americans is to invoke the "responsibility to protect" doctrine to impose a colonial order in Zimbabwe through the UN Security Council.

The root causes of this sudden outbreak of Cholera and Anthrax in Zimbabwe should be independently investigated as these hostile external forces and their local allies are willing to do anything to overthrow the Government of Zimbabwe.

Frankly, I find the comments by Kenya's prime minister rather unfortunate. Dramatic pronounciations that make headlines on BBC don't help the people of Zimbabwe. In fact they strengthen the resolve of Mugabe.

Why isn't he using his verbal leverage to push SADC countries to do something tangible? For instance, can someone explain to me why Botswana criticizes Zimbabwe soo heavily yet even as recently as two week ago when MDC-T was told to go home and share the home affairs ministry, Botswana happily signed onto it...? The fact that the president wasn't there isn't an issue, coz his foreign affairs minister or whoever he delegates is consulted, and probably consultation is made (with the presidency) prior to important decisions.

I just think that a lot of energy is being wasted by people making bold declarations about tribunals and stuff but nobody can even figure out how to get him to issue a passport to his prime-minister designate. Megaphone diplomacy is pointless and just helps one massage their ego.

CORRECT ENGLISH USAGE:

"Jallohlaw, you have no room to talk. Your gammar is often atrocious, and your sentences are often nonsensical. You write pretentious rubbish." (Where a sentence is deemed "meaningless," as here, albeit wrongheadedly, it is ipso facto "rubbish."

Wow, even in attempting to "correct" me you show that you don't truly understand English.

Firstly, putting your name at the beginning or end of the opening sentence is correct.

"Your gammar is often atrocious, and your sentences are often nonsensical"

The "are often" is not required in the second half of the sentence as it is implied by the first occurrence.

"Where a sentence is deemed "meaningless," as here, albeit wrongheadedly, it is ipso facto "rubbish." "

There is no such word as "wrongheadedly". What dictionary do you use? Dr Jallohlaw's Dictionary of Pretentious Words, 4th Edition?

Rubbish does not necessarily imply meaningless.

You write like someone who has learned English as a second language, and learned it by the book. You know some of the rules but not when they can be broken, or how they are best applied to the _living_ language.

I'm amused that you choose a politician as the benchmark for your grasp of the language. Politicians love to dress up their worthless diatribe in fanciful wording. No wonder you prefer style over substance.

ROFL! A perfect reply to Jallohlaw's long-winded response. (Or, as he would put it, "longwinded")

:-D

More please Jallohlaw, you brighten my day!

TO MINDLESS AND THE OTHER DUDE: the two boneheads:

Wrongeheaded, wrongeheaded, and wrongeheaded, again;

Again: wrongeheaded, wrongeheaded, and wrongeheaded, encore.

On the soul searing Socratic irony, see "More Grammar Lessons for Mindless," supra. Of course, boneheaded Mindless has no clue.

Very well then: wrongheaded, wrongheaded, wrongheaded; encore, wrongheaded, wrongheaded, and wrongheaded AND BONEHEADED MINDLESS.

"A mind is a terrible thing to waste."

Mindless is the essence of stupidity: boneheadedness.

Shall we have a vote on this proposition, people?

LOL! Jallohlaw, you act like a little school boy. The moment anybody makes a point that you cannot counter you resort to childish name calling. I can just see you now, standing in the school playground and shouting, "boneheaded, boneheaded, boneheaded'.

Don't forget to use the biggest words you can find when your reply so that you can make yourself appear more grown up than you really are.

:-D

Shallow-head is just a petulant child trying to take everyones focus off the issues at hand and waste peoples time on issues of grammer. In reality, the point of communication is to be understood. It doesnt really matter if its correct as long as you get the point across. I'd rather get my point across with bad grammer, than not with correct grammer. Remember, its not a literary competition here. Its about the issues at hand.

Jallohlaw, you're such a clown. LOL!

If a clown, I am, then you are the head of my 'tribe': the 'tribe' of CLOWNS.

I notice, by the way, that your writing has somewhat improved, thanks, perhaps, to the hammer of the GRAMMAR LESSONS.

Being a cool African, I shall not take categorical credit for the state of affairs, and neither shall I essay to retrieve my earned pecuniary reward.

I suppose the generous African gene rocks in my soul; yet my mind, hardened and sharpened by DECONSTRUCTING, and that ceaselessly and mano mano, to boot, the infantile theoretical trash that has been thrown on Africa by archaic representatives of the West is always rocking in the African fire dance.

Glory to Africa and our ancestors brutalized by THE REACTION, OLD AND NEW.

"I notice, by the way, that your writing has somewhat improved, thanks, perhaps, to the hammer of the GRAMMAR LESSONS"

ROFL! Your "lessons" are worthless since most of your "corrections" have been entirely wrong. Your post above is likewise riddled with errors.

You must be very insecure to want so badly to impress people. Your delusions of grandeur might fool some people, but it's quite obvious to anyone with a half-decent grasp of English that your pretentious waffling has no substance.

Don't forget to look up some lengthy arcane words in your thesaurus for your next reply :-D

LUNATIC MINDLESS, YOU ARE EIDETICALLY WITHOUT A MIND.

Admit it: you can't write, and that is evidently manifest in your post supra. The thing speaks for itself.

"Delusions of grandeur", you stammer?

Please.

Before I arrived on the scene, you were like a hunter with a cough; only your interlocutors did not know that.

I observed your wobbly attacks on the Great Fighter and your absolute inability to control the structures of YOUR "mother tongue." What a shame?

Now, you got me on your back like a monkey.

Let us rumble, dude LUNATIC MINDLESS!

Whatever MINDLESS says is logically mindless.

The tail of the reaction, smashed in Harare by ZANU/PF, NOW SEEKS REFUGE HERE.

I AM HERE TO BUST "RHODESIANS."

And, since day one I have been bulldozing the troika and the dude from DixieTexas.

And loving it!

ROCKING NEWS

The representatives of THE REACTION, SELF-CONFESSED RACISTS (See their posts supra), are now reduced to baby babble, an apt image of RACISM, AN ARCHAIC, IRRATIONAL CULTURAL ATTITUDE.

Pathetic!

Glory to Cdr. MUGABE, THE RACIST CRUSHING MACHINE IN THE CITY OF AFRICAN POWER, HARARE, AND MAY GOD BLESS ZIMBABWE AND SEND "RHODESIA" TO AN INFERNO THAT TRANSCENDS ANY AND ALL ACTUAL AND IMAGINARY INFERNOS.

Heart felt sympathy from the city of ONE LOVE for the lost 'Rhodesian' souls in this forum: the trioka and the dude from DixieTexas.

May God have mercy on your 'souls!"

Who cares wether english is mundered or not. Most of the people in this site are not Englishmen. Wether they make grammatical errors or not it doesnt matter. I dont use english when i know the person i am addressing can understand any other language. Back to the main issue what should be done about Zimbabwe and Mugabe. Any suggestions?

What is going to happen to the people of Zimbabwe? Is the cholera epidemic getting worse? What is being done to stop the cholera and end inflation? Does Cmdr Mugage have a solution? Please help!

Just don't ask the tails of THE REACTION and its tails---the troika---in this site.

They proudly proclaim that they are NOT Africans: 'Rhodesians' they are, toto caelo.

Did I call them such? Or, did you?

No. They did call themselves 'Rhodesians', and everyone knows that 'Rhodesians' were bulldozed by the guns of DO or DIE African warriors led by the MAN OF THE HOUR, THE DEPOSITORY OF AFRICAN DIGNITY: Cdr. MUGABE.

Glory to Africa first; second, glory to Cdr. MUGABE.

Salutations from the City of Honor, the City of the reflective self-assertion of AFRICAN DIGNITY.
