document.write("All this talk of removing Mugabe brings back memeory of the Gulf war. I'm all for removing him, by force or otherwise, as long as everyone is aware of what the consequences can be in terms of a protracted guerrilla war.. L_M");

document.write("Fulu and MD.... You are the funny ones. You and people like you have elevated this old man to demi-god status. He is just a man just like Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler , he can be removed and he will not come back and haunt you. Problem is in Africa no one has courage to stand up to represive regeims and remove them ... unless ofcourse they happen to be white , then somehow a new kind of courage kicks in , such injustice , such indignation..... chrishd");
document.write("<h5>smell the coffee baby</h5>");
document.write("Go Phillip. You are the shizzle. Moogarbee is guilty of crimes against humanity, and when Africans offer him their support it only re-inforces sterotypes of Africans being incapable of moral thought or action. Fulu you and those who think like you are a disgrace to the struggle and those who suffered by it. Wake the f up.. the dude");

document.write("Fulu, for how long are you going to be talking?How long have you been talking? You would be crazy to repeat the same thing that does not change anything. Remove mugabe by FORCE.. Chex Mutape");
document.write("<h5>worse</h5>");
document.write("The suppression felt my the zim people is far worse  and the amount of unnecesary deaths far greater , than the old white dispicable government of this country  caused.<br />The silence is amazing...at least Cope stands by its suffering brothers.. edward");

document.write("if 1 man is not removed 1000's continue to die.and if hes not removed in timeits gona get really bad.i think mugabe is goin senile coz only a mentally ill leader can see his country drop like that.. cat gunz");
document.write("<h5>Yeah Right !</h5>");
document.write("We have got to realise that it is the racist black element which does not want to remove Mugabe , as it would mean that even black liberators can turn into oppressors. They may evewn be worse than the old colonialists ? . frank");

document.write("What surprises me is that he has,nt been \"taken out\"yet-but if you see his cavalcade it explains it.What doesnt surprise me is the fact that so many Africans accept this type of leadership(if i may us the word)They would rather shoot themselves in the foot than accept resposibility for the mess,least of all criticism from Umlungus.. peterJ");
document.write("<h5>\"Yes we can\"</h5>");
document.write("Remove Mugabe.<br />It takes an elite commando unit, a marksman and it's done. You don't need a war. <br /><br />There will be a brief period of transition. Once the government is put in place the peace will return and Zimbabweans can get on with it.<br /><br />Right now, this could drag on another 10 years and THAT cost will be more than the cost now!. Thinker");
document.write("<h5>Thinker</h5>");
document.write("Thinker what you are talking about is naive.  None wants war.  Amazingly you've put in so easy - is it from experience.  I agree with Fulu 100% - Zimbabweans have to sit and talk - there is no time for violence or war.  There's need for peace.  Those coming up with the idea of a coup or removing Mugabe from power must be disgruntled former ....... Pandu");
document.write("<h5>Fulu  is right</h5>");
document.write("This is not simple as u may think it is..You really can't remove him..Zimbabweans have to do something..Talk to him pls..<br /><br />Cope pls behave..war is the last thing we want in Zim.. Thuso");

document.write("Come off it - stop daydreaming.  What Zimbabwe needs now is peace.  What makes you think force will work - you talk as if you're a minor.  Get a life and live real.  Inasmuch as Zim needs peace - Zimbabwe will remain Zimbabwe and not Rhodesia!. Tshepo");
document.write("<h5>COPE</h5>");
document.write("COPE, COPE, COPE - how many times have I called you?  You were born yesterday and already you wanna run a marathon - don't jump the gun.  You lack the expertise and experience - Zim is too hot for you - you still a baby.  Mind you, you won't understand the political dynamics of Zimbabwe.  Eish it depends which books you do your research from.  Guess you'd utilise the real Zim books in order to understand the black history!. Geisha");

document.write("Read the headlines concerning Zim? Even their own military are unhappy. All this because one man is so stubborn and hell bent on being in the driving seat. The trouble is him in the driving seat is like the bushman trying to control the jeep goingh backwards in \"The Gods must be Crazy\"! He doesn't have a clue what he is doing or where is going.<br /><br />Getting rid of one man, will save many Zimbabwean lives that are already in danger.<br /><br />The talks have spanned Mbeki's presidency and show no sign of convergence. The country and it's people are suffering. Something has to move the political stalemate along, and that momentum is not comming from Mugabe, talks with the opposition and even people like Koffi Anan who has offered to mediate has been refused a VISA to enter Zim.<br /><br />They have a problem. They don't know how to fix it. They don't want any help to fix it. They can talk till they blue in the face and it won't happen because they are intolerant of each other.<br /><br />A 3rd force to send Mugabe to hell will be frowned upon, challenged, seen as meddling, but the outcome will let the people choose without fear of becomming targets.<br /><br />No need to pull any punches. I'm no disgruntled white farmer from Zim. I'm a free thinking individual with a proposal where others just blow hot air and bend over backwards to be politically correct! No offence taken and none intended either.. Thinker");

document.write("You talk of discussions and talking. How many people have died since then? You who think this can be solved by discussions are kidding yourselves. This is Africa. With the \"Bolshevics\" in power - there is not talking... <br /><br />It is time to act. Silent diplomacy is far from over. If your family and children were on that side of the fence and not in a BMW, you would think differently.<br /><br /><br />. Voet");
document.write("<h5>Blind loyalty</h5>");
document.write("I wonder if fulu, md, tshepo and the like really know anything about Rhodesia? How old are you lot? mugapie has been in power 28 years - if you are younger than, say 34, you would have no idea of what Rhodesia was all about other than the propaganda that you have been fed by your racist black brothers. There were some issues that needed addressing, yes, but the blacks were 1000 million times better off under Ian Smith than the rabid baboon that now runs the place - not convinced? Take a look at the original newsreels from the era at 'thenewrbc.com', noting the education and training schemes that were instituted. Black labour was used for building, yes, but in the UK & US, white labour does the menial work too.... AA");
document.write("<h5>tshepo & co</h5>");
document.write("Oy tshepo, you are right - Zimbabwe will NEVER again be Rhodesia as long as blacks govern it. Rhodesia equalled jobs for all, food on the table, proper health care & prosperity. Zimbabwe = ruins, death & dictatorship. <br /><br />fulu - mugabe didn't suffer to get where he is... he sat in exile in countries like the UK and sent others to their deaths against the Rhodesian forces & once in power proceeded to bleed the country of all its wealth for his own gain at the expense of everyone else. Even now he doesn't suffer - gets a cold & he's off to a hospital in SA whilst people die in zim from easily preventable diseases like cholera due to collapsed health care systems - some hero.<br /><br />As for pandu who cannot finish a sentence, 'digruntled?' - you bet !!!, in fact, I am furious - I have seen MY country taken over by a bunch of thugs and destroyed. A better job of ruination could not have been done if the place were nuked. You must be very proud of what your race has accomplished in africa.... Steve");
