I remember when the election was going on and you would hear like every other day the opposition leader was arrested or detained or attacked or some of his party officials were beat or detained or arrested, this was a daily occurence, got to watch your every move when you're running against Mugabe

I wonder how long it would take Mugabe to fall from power if a coalition force of african countries was formed and crossed the border into Zimbabwe. I wonder if it would be like what happened with the corrupt dictator Mobutu who ruled the Congo or Zaire for over 35 years plundering its money on himself and his family while his people starved. He ran like a coward when forces invaded. I wonder if Mugabe's forces would be defeated as easily, they are only used to repressing their own people.

The USA is a Democratic Republic , not a Democracy. Our Republic is based on The old Romen Republic.

I'm sorry about Morgan Tsvnagirai's accident, the one in which his wiffe died. I just want to say thta he is a true fighter, someone thta has resisted the harshest treatment from Robert Mugabe. And hwe will continue to do so.

FIGHT TSVANGIRAI, DON'T GIVE UP. KEEP FIGHTING

Zimbabwe is coming into democracy and the Crazy Man running Zimbabwe refuses to step down and beat anyone that does not support him. He needs to be arrested by the UN for crimes against humanity. To your own people, Shame on you and your going to spend a short life on this planet trying to rule Zimbabwe but you will spend eternity in Hell and everyone involved with poor Zimbabwe men and women boold on all your hands. Why wont you let the media in, you got much to hide? Your not even a man,

democracy doesnt always equate prosperity like in Africa, Latin America, only 2 sucessful exist: Democratic Capitlism (USA) and Authoritarian Capitilsm (China) Africa you should follow a china style, you people are not ready for a western style democracy.
