Beautiful example of imperialism at work: first, explain how Mugabe is starving
the people, then invade the country to "feed" them.

When will we state the obvious truth? This is, and remains about the land
seizures. Badly done land reforms are far better than well-managed, properly
"democratic" "commercial" farmers. Imperialism knows this, and we know why they
are attacking Zimbabwe.

Everyone said "Mugabe is only saying he'll carry out a land reform" as an
election tactic. When ZANU start to carry out the land reform, they are doing it
wrong, or at the very least not for the right people...

I hate that kind of arm chair revolutionary. Yet, I love Pat Bond so go
figure...
