All these years of being comfortable, knowing whos in power, what the issues are, who's funding what, are only the signs of a young democracy which was only given a honeymoon period(the same as South Africa is). The average "westerner" or whatever that is, enjoys no democracy whatsoever most of the time; they disagree with Iraq with their borders being flooded by people, with their leaders CONSTANTLY lying to them and screwing them. THE FRANK ISSUE WITH ZIMBABWE right now is that we are seeing the country through their eyes. I.e. nothing will ever be good with human rights until the white farmers reaquire "their" land. I was there when white farmers were blissfully raking in a MILLION US$ a HECTARE, and mass human rights were being perpetrated. But these western media baron's eyes, Mugabe was WONDERFUL and ELECTIONS were RIGGED in his favour. Just ask Ndebeles in the south if they were happy that westerners knighted Mugabe after the Matebele massacres, because they were done to protect white interests, against scheming South Africans in the south!!! Zimbabweans and English people were never closer than at that moment. All stakeholders should be prepared to therefore bare whatever brunt comes from veering of this path.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('59670','kafka'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('59670','kafka','Guys, all I can say to Zimbabweans is WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF \"WESTERN DEMOCRACY\".\r\nAll these years of being comfortable, knowing whos in power, what the issues are, who\'s funding what, are only the signs of a young democracy which was only given a honeymoon period(the same as South Africa is).
