Zimbabwe

Was Ian Smith right to resist UK pressure to give political control to the black majority in Zimbabwe? News that "the greatest humanitarian crisis we face today" will be in Southern Africa and man-made suggests that Ian may have been. What's more important, food or a vote?

Only the BBC could claim that the victims of Zimbabwe's slum clearances are "lucky" because the international community are aware of their plight. Would they have been as lucky if Ian Smith had been responsible for the slum clearances with no where else to live?
