More white Zimbabwean farmers expelled
New seizures breach Mugabe's declaration three years ago that land reform programme was over.
Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe's philosophy as he launched his so-called "fast-track" land reform programme in 2000 was simple: the end justifies the means. But that was precisely the bone of contention of those who advised caution and respect for the rule of law as thousands of white commercial farmers were violently expelled from their land and a number were brutally assaulted and killed.

In the "post-colonialist" world, Third World dictators blame the West for their sins.
Today, more than a million people in Zimbabwe are starving, and up to three million face the imminent prospect of starvation. This has not yet excited much attention in the West. Zimbabwe, after all, is far away from the centers of American interest; all of our top reporters are in Kandahar and Karachi.

Soes I understand;
Whites ran successful farms for generations. Native black leaders " freed " the paid farm workers by seizing the land, burning looting and killing the whites out.
Now the fields sit un-farmed and millions of Africans face starvation because of it.
Somehow, I find my sympathy for the former colony of Rhodesia lacking.
What do you think; is the reclamation of white farms so vital that it is worth the starving of millions to accomplish?
Should the U.N. intervene?
