Ex Rhodesian sees irony in west's love of Mugabe

"...Throughout the Rhodesian Civil War, Western Media supported Mugabe’s so called “Freedom Fighters”, as did the World Council of Churches and many other Christian Organisations… and most Western Governments; they provided both moral and financial support to Mugabe and his terrorists. Everyone wanted Democracy for Africa. Sound familiar? (Because it is oil rich, it is unlikely that Iraq will end up with millions starving, but will “democracy” ever bring peace to the place?)
In Zimbabwe, no opposition has ever been allowed to win an election – everyone knows that the elections are rigged. People who are known to support Mugabe’s opposition are killed, or beaten and starved – their homes destroyed – unless they learn to vote for Mugabe’s party...."
