Heh, I love it when the automated bits of websites accidentally put something highly inappropriate next to an article.

When is the world going to wake up and say:
"Fuck Africa, those stupid mofos don't do shit for anyone (Except Nigeria, which we should just invade and flat-out steal their oil), and are more concerned with killing each other than making any progress. So fuck your entire continent, we're keeping our money, and you're on your own. Good fuckin luck. Oh yeah, one more thing, thanks for AIDS you monkey fucking assholes!"

Rwanda also comes to mind.
------------------
Rwanda never had a leader who was so embraced by the west especially academia as being enlightened and a symbol of Africa's progress. I don't remember a peep abotu sending forces into zimbabwe, but Rwanda had quite a lot of publicity (although from the top of my head it was a lot more violent). Also Rwanda has had trials and they (or the UN) has gone after or caught many people. Not so much with zimbabwe.
------------------
There haven't been too many trials in Rwanda. For the most part, some of the higher-level people involved have been kinda-sorta tried, and the lower level people's trials have been very slow. Also, the Rwandan genocide killed, oh, 500,000 to a million people. They didn't get much publicity until after most of the killing was done with.
I rather suspect that the lack of noise about sending forces into Zimbabwe might have something to do with the amount of unhappiness locally and abroad about the US involvement in Iraq. Despite the obvious differences in the two situations, I doubt that any involvement would be looked upon with any sort of support.

Kinda like all the University of Pheonix ads next to school shooting articles. Great plug if you ask me.

They kicked out the white people who were feeding the whole country with their farms, now they have no food. Fuck them.
---------------------------
Speaking as someone who is friends with a white ex-Zimbabwean whose family was forced off their ancestral farm at gunpoint, and someone who knows other people in similar situations through her, I can safely say that the people who were kicked out for the most part like to rid the country of Mugabe, help repair it, and move back. It probably wouldn't ever happen though as her generation is marrying Americans, British, and South Africans depending on where the family fled to.

Zimbabwe: How to run a country into the ground.
Seriously rather than keep going to higher and higher notes they should simply issue new notes revalued at a lower scale.

Rwanda is okay now. They're thinking of building Disneyland Africa there.
------------------------------------------
Yeah, but who'd want to go?
I can see the advertisements now:
"Come to Disneyland Africa! Where you can ride our glorious dictator of the moment spin a wheel (a burning tire on a chain dragged by a truck.), or see our beautiful Great Lakes region (which is still gripped in civil strife, killings, etc leftover from the 90's, plus the refugee crisis and it's myriad diseases), or how about our mountainous areas, where the second Congolese war (The first being described as Africa's World War, still simmers with our old friends, the Hutus, and various other milita groups regularly raping and murdering in a state of luke-warm war.)
Or maybe we're just getting different info then.
Or maybe you were just joking.
Either way, my point was more about indoninja's comments about neo-colonialism, and the lack of the former colonial powers to send forces, Belgium being the former Rwandan masters, who put the Tutsis into power, as they were in the minority, which led to Hutu anger, even though it's not been conclusively proven that there is ANY DIFFERENCE between the two "ethnic" groups, aside from income and education.
They do say the Tutsis are taller though, and I'd kill over that.

I guess there isn't enough oil for anyone to care about the tyrant who pervades heinous violations of human rights in that country.
Our world is fucked people and this is a perfect example of why.
---------------------------
It isn't just the lack of oil that keeps us out of Zimbabwe, or people from caring. Robert Mugabe for years was the toast of the town for throwing off "imperialism" and bringing "equality" to his people. He should have been stopped before he was tossing white people off their farms and letting bands of savages with machetes force them off. Of course that would have shown how racist the world is to poor africans. Now everybody is afraid of being accused of acting like a "colonial" power and helping a country un-fuck itself.

Oh that Mugabe. What a joker!
He's proper mad though; all tortured in prison and junk. Plus there are all his generals and what have you who could all be accountable for heinous war crimes and shit from when they fought for their independance if someone else ends up in charge. So, you know, they can't really afford for Mugabe to let go of power.
It'll all be okay in a few years when all these old monsters die of old age. Just as long as they can keep racial tensions from boiling over, everything will be right as rain.

This one was funny too. A pic of two massively obese women and a Weight Watchers add over on the side.
You can't tell me the editorial staff didn't chuckle at that.

I thought competitive eating was an American thing. Those waitresses can bring me pie anytime.
It might be fun to tuck 100,000,000,000 Zimbabwe dollars in a stripper's thong, just for the reaction.
