Every age needs different men. Similar-minded people gravitated towards him in the violent days of the independence campaign and subsequent backroom deals. However, he lacked the ability to reach out beyond his circle and so permanently set that circle against everyone outside even when the war was over.

Press S to spit on the grave of a commie.
However, to be fair, i don't know exactly the situation on Zimbabwe. There wasn't like a military coup in that region where the military men said that this wasn't a coup d'etat?. There's the problem of ZANU just putting a (possibly EVEN worse than Mugabe himself) sucessor in his place (but who?, a split is possible).

A "Separate, but equal" legislation could have worked. From afar, Rhodiefans say this was the case back in the day, but then i'm not so sure.

What an interesting thing that didn't actually happen.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

There's something extremely fascinating (but I know it's frustrating for the people) when your money is trying to climb exponentially.... On a Log scale!

There's also something about the rates doubling every few hours or so... If you don't have enough money when the prices change, too bad! Go out of the queue and get more money from home and go back to the market.

Then I remembered that there was be a moment when Zimbabwean Dollar was ruled out, and people had to either barter, or use US dollars.
