Morgan Tsvangirai quits, now what?

This is not a post written by a politically educated man. This is not a post written by a journalist who worked at 702 4 years ago when Tsvangirai's struggle was only starting to become visible to the public. This is a post written of a desperate feeling of sadness and disappointment.What now? Where does Zimbabwe go from here? Can it get any goddam worse for the poor people of a once stunning country?The people of Zimbabwe are now set to suffer for a long time. Human rights injustice is not a bad word in that country right now, it is almost par for the course. Now, it is only going to get worse. The people are going to suffer. Everyone. Not just white, not just black, everyone.It breaks my heart and brings tears to my eyes thinking about how many people are suffering and how few people are willing to assist them. Fuck the politicians, the big corporates or anyone else who is benefitting from the situation in Zimbabwe, dammit all to hell there are people dying.Has society taken so many steps backward that we condone the mass killing of hundreds of thousands and the torment of so many more. Has the Western World lost so much punch that they talk about change but don't implement it. Have we all lost our fucking minds?I feel so much sympathy and so much respect for Morgan Tsvangirai. The man has tried, he has been arrested, beaten, broken and watched his family, friends and colleagues be murdered for a cause that is virtually all but lost now. I pity him for the lack of support he has from South Africa and the world. I pity the world even more for letting the good people of Zimbabwe lose.I pity society if this is what we have become.

How to start each day with a positive outlook

1. Open a new file in your computer.2. Name it "Robert Mugabe".3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.4. Empty the Recycle Bin.5. Your PC will ask you. "Do you really want to get rid of "Robert Mugabe ?"6. Firmly Click "Yes."7. Feel better?Tomorrow we'll do Jacob Zuma

EU leaders are wussies...exept for Gordon Brown

I never thought I'd say that about a British Prime minister, but Brown has really taken a stand. He has outright stated that he wishes to be nowhere remotely close to Robert "I harm my own people" Mugabe.What a boy. Meanwhile the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, came with the thunder declaring her rage against human rights injustices. Then she sits with Thabo Mbeki and crumbles.What is that? She has come forward and endorsed Mugabe's presence at a summit to take place in Lisbon. She's an idiot, that's what I have to say. She has done so many incredible things already in her short time as chancellor. But then she endorses Big Bad Bob's presence?This is bad because other EU leaders are as ficle as she is and will jump on the "support bob harming his country" bandwagon.I applaud Gordon Brown for his blatant disdain for that tosser Mugabe and I only wish that other leaders will take the same, not a similar, the same stand. I cannot for the life of me understand how any leader of any country can willingly stand in the presence of a "leader" like Mugabe. Does it not repulse them?Screw the "politics" of the situation. Good men and women need to take a bloody stand and make the evil men dissapear (interpret that as you like).Surely if someone wanted Bob dead, he would be dead already. With all the conpiracy theories running around the world about JFK's assasination and every other political situation, here's one for you:Someone wants Bob alive and in power. Someone, somewhere is shit scared of information that Bob has on them. It may have been the Blair/Bush administration, but that is now gone and Brown's administration is pissed off with Bob. Good.
