SEXTILLION percent?

Hell, I never knew there WAS such a number. But, the spell checker recognizes it. Guess it’s pretty obvious that I’m not a mathematician.

Meantime, I’m even more impressed with Tsvangirai than I was before. He’s a smart man, with what appears to be a possible plan, if he can escape the political sabotage, and get stuff done in spite of it. Ironically, Obama is in a similar position.

Geeze, how much IS sextillion? At least we aren’t THAT far in the hole, eh?

(As if I would know)

Mugabe - Zanu-PF Supporters Genocide

Perhaps the Mugabe goon’s baseball bat that fractured his skull did Morgan Tsvangirai’s thinking more damage than we knew.

Did Mugabe use North Korean trainers / troops to crush any opposition by the Ndebele in Matabeleland and the Midlands between 1982 and 1985 - Zanu-PF suporters? Was this a genocide? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mugabe

Joshua Nkomo - confirms genocide - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Nkomo

Were British press reports about this and about Mugabe presiding over the disintegration of Zimbabwe disinformation by the old colonial power?

Did Britain use the resulting internal divisions and conflicts as an excuse to refuse to pay for promised land reform. Land reform that was only needed because of the colonial occupation of Rhodesia?

Or, as is often applies with dialectical arguments, is the answer “both.” Or in this case, “All of the above.”
