Well that makes perfect sense, why didn't we think of that?
Mugabe is only protecting his countries legacy and his own ideology. That is why he is holding onto power until he can find someone just like himself.

Hitler and Stalin and a host of other dictators shared that same cold ideology with an iron fist. So perhaps the rest of the world should share with him our Ideology and show Mugabe the error of his ways permanently!

One Rule my Dad always told me was When you raise your fist at anyone you better be prepared to use them. Mugabe certainly seems to be doing that a lot lately to the world. Best he be prepared to use them,cause he'll need them to fend off the countless blows he'll receive upside his head!

HARARE -- President Robert Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since he led it to independence from British colonial rule in 1980, vowed yesterday he will not hand over power to anyone who doesn't share his ideology.

Mugabe is quoted in the state-controlled Sunday Mail as saying that he and his supporters are the custodians of Zimbabwe's independence legacy. As such, Mugabe says they have a duty to hand over power only to those who fully value that legacy.

The 84-year-old Mugabe is in a desperate election fight with opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai. He accuses Tsvangirai, who bested him in the first round of presidential voting in March, of being a puppet of Britain and the U.S.

VIOLENCE, INTIMIDATION

The campaign for the June 27 presidential run-off ballot has been marred by violence and intimidation against Tsvangirai and his supporters

He wouldn't care. He doesn't care about his country or his people or what state the country's in. He only cares about himself. But sure I'm preaching to the converted here anyway, I know. :)

Thanks for the comments and the flag General, as I said, don't raise your fists at anyone unless you intend to use them, and shadow boxing don't count.
