Q: Today (Wednesday) Nelson Mandela spoke out in London about Mugabe. The Queen stripped Mugabe of his knighthood. Desmond Tutu added his voice to the dissenters. Even George Bush finally said something intelligent about the sham Mugabe is calling an election. On tv, Mugabe ignored them all and made light of them. Do you think this united verbal front, albeit a late in the day united verbal front, will make any difference? I know it is hard to speak of Mugabe without using all the foul terms you know but Youngsters come on Yahoo Answers so could you please humour me and try to keep it somewhat civil? Thanks! To Blue Bull - Good one! You crack me up! :o) Slipper Man - re GWB it's true. I heard it with my own ears. He must have a new speech writer! And I commend you on your control and stand in awe! :o)
A: This is a way of dictators and many so called freedom fighters who become leaders of countries.They are drunk with power , greed and status and believe that they are the Chosen ones.Now with so many spineless leaders in Africa who follow the same path and pattern of leadership as Mugabe that goes for South Africa too.Now is not the time to stand up to be heard that has long passed .Now all of them are guilty for standing by while their friend Mugabe was doing the war dance years ago.Mugabe was a hero and if he stood down five to ten years ago his legacy and knighthood would still have the sparkle.
