If I was a white Zimbabwean with a vote in that country's (sham) elections, I would definitely vote for Mugabe. Which African leader has done more to show Western governments the true colours of black African leadership?
Ian Smith, the Prime Minister of the erstwhile Rhodesia, was reviled as an evil white racist when he made his dire predictions of what that country would become under black majority rule. The British, having stabbed their own kith and kin in the back, went into fits of black-worship when Mugabe ascended to power under agreements they brokered.
While pumping in billions of pounds to support the economy of Zimbabwe, after having tried in vain for 15 years to destroy it with economic sanctions against the economy of Rhodesia, the Pommies were going to show, then Apartheid South Africa, that blacks could rule a country as well as, if not better than, any white man!
Thanks to Mugabe, all the British can do now is propagate revisionist history in which the abomination of Zimbabwe is supposedly not of their making!
Let's not forget that the British Queen knighted Robert Mugabe and leading British universities, such as the University of Edinburgh, showered him with honorary doctorates (now quietly and unceremoniously revoked)!
Mugabe is a great man who has done more to rub the noses of white liberals worldwide, in the realities of black Africa, than any white leader on this continent has ever succeeded in doing.
All I can say is, "Thank you Bob!"
