[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

Despite the fact Zimbabwe continued to thrive for more than a decade after the end of white rule, all the problems that followed the rampage unleashed by Mugabe starting in the early 90's are the fault of Ian Smith.

The greatest irony of Robert Mugabe is that he keeps the EXACT same elite Rhodesian company that Ian Smith did. So while he lashes out at white farmers without running water, he keeps close company with the most powerful figures of old Rhodesia who have had their interests well protected.
