Is Robert Mugabe good or bad for Zimbabwe? I'd like to hear opinions from both sides.

Here is a story about Mugabe.

Mugabe blames the West for Zimbabwe's problems (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060726/ap_on_re_af/zimbabwe_mugabe)


Who is to blame for Zimbabwe's problems?

Well, he and his people can't farm worth a sh*t. If starvation, plunder, and chaos are to be consider good things, then Mugabe is the reincarnation of Christ. If suffering from the world's largest inflation rate (1000%), shortages of virtually every basic product, and having 25% of your people leave your country is good, then I would hate to see what constitutes evil. Mugabe is the epitome of the uneducated, idiotic, left. Let this be a lesson to all of you looters on Che-Lives. Communism and theft are bad for societies and result in widespread death and poverty.

ah, so the general strikes again. very well, then. we shall beat him back to his bunker.

1:

mugabe may be idiotic, but he's certainly not un-educated. i think you used that word because it created a final, conclusive link in your chain of senselessness. please, make sure every word you use has a logical, tangible function.

1.121:

mugabe is not a leftist. he may, at one point, have had leftist leanings, with his interest in pan-africanism, leninism, and maoism, but, mugabe's passing, temporary interests are like the clouds at which he sticks his tongue out, first getting a little taste, then moving on to more dubious endeavours.

1.146:

dubious endeavours, such as sponsoring homophobia. dubious endeavours, such as exploiting conflict to get his hands on the congo's natural wealth. in fact, kabila and mugabe both signed contracts on behalf of this.. corporate enterprise. hmph, leftism, indeed. sorry.. try again.

1.192:

i would, in fact, ask you why you consider mugabe a leftist, but, assuming that you even understand the question, you'd probably make appeals to his words, his claims, instead of his deeds. that's okay, that's pretty typical, so i don't really hold it against you and your band of intelleqchuwals.

1.2:

the economic problems may or may not be partially caused by mugabe. he's corrupt, and he's an idiot; really, no question about that. however.. at a certain point, domestic policy ends, and foreign policy kicks in. i wonder how many of the problems are africa-caused, and how many of them have been, if not directly, then at least indirectly, fostered, if not outright sparked and ignited, by all kinds of silly american and european interventions.

but, since you're the expert on the economic issues of zimbabwe and, by extention, on africa in its entirety, i'll simply pass the question on to you.

if you're unable to discuss it logically and thoroughly, i understand. i won't hold it against you, either, since i suspected as much all along. however.. i would, at any rate, expect you to at least think a minute before you slam your hands across the keyboard, posting whatever string of words that just happen to come out of your clumsiness.

assuming, of course, that you'd like to be considered honest and informed, not dry and malicious (as, naturally, you are considered now).

anyway, i await your response.. and your analysis.

I really hope nobody deludes themselves into thinking Mugabe has done a single good thing since over throwing the Apartheid government. There is nothing good about him, he has become arrogant and completely authoritarian. Not only is he a bad economic planner, but he has also bulldozed the houses of the poorest and most down trodden people in his nation simply because they question his rule. Any person who supports Mugabe loses credibility in terms of their knowledge of politics, philosophy, economics, current affairs, or in anything.

That's right. He was probably educated in the same inner-city school district as you were. That would explain a lot.

i certainly was part of the 'inner-city school district,' brooklyn being what it is, until i graduated high school last june. i had a fun time there, naturally, with the drugs, the naps, and the women, and i stayed home as much as possible.

maybe you'd have preffered that i attended some private school, and maybe my outlook on things would have been a bit different. can't really tell, so no need to speculate. i still haven't attended college, so who knows, maybe things will change? we shall see.

my background, however, is quite irrelevant, as i see you still lack the gonads, and the brains, to contribute much to the topic at hand.. namely, mugabe. your silence on the issue is quite revealing. so, offer as much uninteresting and dull-witted "banter" as you'd like.. you're still an inferior debater, and your humor is still quite dry, which means that every time you do attempt some wit, the humiliation and hilarity i offer in return makes your stupidity quite worth your effort.. at least for me.

i know you're quite incapable of a real reply, but if i were you, i'd quit dicking around and stop side-stepping the issues we're discussing. but, since i'm me, and not you, i'll simply post this message, close the browser window, and bask in the fact that you'll be forever wrong about pretty much everything.

cheers.
