While he might be portrayed as a bit of a tyrant in the news, I’m sure he *thinks* he can justify his behaviour. He has just the right amount of crazy needed to be a politician in Africa, and it is unfortunate that beyond his bodyguards, estates and the bubble in which he must live, he can’t see what he is doing to his country, his people and his economy (crikey, you think he’d have at least learned from Hitlers mistakes if hes going to compare himself to Hitler).
Maybe I should start a group – “1,000,000 people who think I should be next president of Zimbabwe”. Pity I’m white, though I have a feeling most of my cabinet would be black. Zimbabwe used to be pretty good at Cricket and now none of the international teams will even go there. Why would a president stop his country from playing games? Why would anyone restrict freedom of the press? I’d want to know that my peoples opinion was that I am f**king up my country so that maybe I could turn back to them and ask them how to fix it.
And the internet! How awesome would it be to use your power to wire your country to the level of Scandinavia!? Give everyone a megabit or 10 of internet and a bunch of OLPCs and watch the country rise up the charts to become the powerhouse of Africa. What an opportunity the guy is missing for a few billion dollars that he won’t even be able to use soon (given he is 84). Sigh. People are stupid.
And he can’t even use the excuse of hoarding his wealth (said to be in Malaysia) for his kids, because usually when dictators die the rest of the family goes in to exile and is stripped of most of their assets. But maybe if they want to hurt him now, the US should ask Malaysia to freeze his assets like they did to Macau with the North Koreans? I dunno, there are lots of ways to solve these issues… but I think I’d be the most democratic, liberal, in-your-face pricks to rule anywhere on the face of the earth – when people like you, they give you more stuff, money etc, so why be a tyrant?
I might make a poll/group on Facebook for this idea
