Pol Pot emptied the shanty towns of Cambodia and sent the people out to farm with no resources, 25% of Cambodians starved to death because the rest of the world stood back and done nothing. History is repeating itself in Zimbabwe, both with starvation of those forced out of their homes to nothing with nothing, and the world standing by again doing nothing. Now is the time for action to stop these crimes against humanity and save the masses of Zimbabwe from death

Some people think the market, no matter how ****ed up, is more important than people.

It's 100% politics and it sure as hell won't help any of the people who're getting their hiomes destroyed and I'm surprised that you don't realize that.


I don't think I've lost sight of anything. I thought I made the Mugabe = Pol Pot argument rather clear in the OP. You think that I am approving of what Pol Pot did?
