:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

This is not to excuse Zimbabwe's government for its policies.

It's just to consider the source.

5. Glass House America, at it again...
But the world's no longer listening. The U.S. government is an international joke.

6. I used to be a big fan of Robert Mugabe...
he could have been right up there with Archbishop Tutu and former South African President Nelson Mandela. Instead, he's a squalid dictator in the mold of George W. B*shit. Those two ought to hurl insults at each other while the world watches and giggles.

7. It takes a lot of humanity to be Nelson Mandela.
Mugabe could have been a lot less than Mandela and still have been a very decent and good ruler of his country.

But Mugabe's a criminal pig. It's mildly amusing that a more well known criminal pig is remarking on that obvious fact, but Mugabe will rot in history's hell.

8. You're right...Mandela is unique and shouldn't be compared with anyone...
I just remember being so ELATED when Mugabe won the first Zimbabwe general election; I thought for sure great things were in store, and that country deserved it. Such a pity.
