Welcome to Africa, enjoy your stay.

Mr. Mugabe might be 20 I Q points higher than Bush, Georgie might have figured out that scam,maybe!

I immediately thought of James Watson when I read this. That poor man, a victim of the Liberal-Left and their PC agenda. Remember, the truth always triumphs in the end.

Tom Portokalis, Sydney, Australia

I have one thing to say to all those who were busy posting last week in the light of james Watsons remarks about intelligence and its borrowed from the football terraces............

Yourrr not singing..yourrr not singing....yourrr not singing anymoor.....yourrrr not singing anyyy moorrr.

Ha Ha HA

But serioursly folks, it's the 1930's all over again, everyone can see we are moving into a massive end of oil war phase. the left has the power the television stations, particularly the institutionally liberal-left BBC, and (liying through their teeth to the gullible left) the religion - of - peace - in - our - time. but they don't have the will of the people which they will decover at the last minute.
the last bits got nothing to do with the story but I had to get it off of my chest.

John, Stoke on Trent,

A government that is supposed to filled with season academics could not find reason to recommend a geologist for empirical evidence ! It's a hard pill for Uncle Bob but I still like him for representing the one man opposition to white rule and imperialism in Zim.

The next time someone tries to tell you that it's okay to believe in miracles, remember this story.

Now that Oil has been 'struck' in Zimbabwe, will The USA now go and effect a 'Regime Change', as in in Iraq?

- Ha, first we have to put her in the "Axis of Evil", then we need to pretend to place sanctions on her. Then we need to accuse her of developing WMD. Then Bush has to say that getting fuel from a rock is "unacceptable". We have to search her home for aluminum tubes ("Do I need to remind you WTF you can do with an aluminum tube?"). Then we have to make up a meeting between her and someone in Czechoslavakia. Then we accuse her of being anohter HItler...THEN we invade her and bring a regime change. She will then give us chocolate and flowers. Her magic stick would go to Pat Robertson where he can play the same joke on his followers.

Actually, what am I talking about? We would simply bomb her next door neighbor.

OK,that's it, cut her mic!

Steve Drury, Rochester, NY/US

As if this is any more ridiculous than the fact 40% of Americans (Gallup Poll) think that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old, and therefore, Jesus put oil in the ground for our use? Or that God told GWB to invade Iraq? Ethnocentric hypocrisy.

This is actually possible. I myself do it for my own car. Send me a cheque for £100 pounds and I will send you the instructions of the process by return of post. This is not a con, I actually demonstrated this on a local radio station in Khazikstan. Mr. Mugabe will vouch for my integrity and will supply a reference if needed.

Difficult to keep a straight face really , they're even more imbecilic than I rate them , and I'm an ex-Rhodesian .

Ed Allen, Whitby, Canada

What was Dr Watson saying last week? And this is the president of Zimbabwe?

Neil McAllister, Chessington, Surrey

Come on now, we all know this is somehow white people's fault. It's the legacy of colonialism and oppression. Soon, under Mr. Mugabe's leadership, Zimbabwae will be sending rockets to Mars, exploring space, unraveling the secrets of DNA, and creating cutting edge technology in computers and medicine.

Ron Statler, Tampa , USA

Anyone believing Jimmy Carter deserves to be conned.

jfz, napa, ca

Didn't some guy named Moses do this with God's help like 3000 years ago? Anyone who's read the most printed book in history (Numbers 20.10 specifically) should have seen this coming.

SIMPSONS DID IT!! SIMPSONS DID IT!!

Nick, Dana Point, CA,

This reminds me of a con trick by H. H. Holmes, who is most famous as a Victorian-era Chicago-based serial killer but who, when he wasn't murdering people, also pulled off endless cons.

At one point he invited journalists and scientists to come round to his house and witness his amazing invention of chemical powder that could turn tap-water into fuel. He would pour 'water' from his taps into a container, add some 'exotic chemical' (actually just harmless, soluble powder) into the 'water' and then empty it into a combustion engine, which would then chug away. Everyone was amazed...until it turned out that the 'water' taps were actually just connected to a hidden tank of petrol all along.

So, over a hundred years later, a variation on this simple con-trick still works! One sucker born every minute I suppose, although normally they're not in charge of a country.

Edward, Leeds,

My God how short are people's memories! Can you imagine that once upon a time Mugabe was once the darling of the chattering classes! Today we have his former mentors ie Jimmy Carter & Malcolm Fraser lecturing to us on how to solve the problems in the middle east.! (Easy. Just ask Israel to roll over & play dead!)
God help us all!

Roy Chassay, Sydney, Australia

Now what was Nobele Laureate James Watson saying?

Doug George, Antibes, France

LOL!!
Only a week after Dr Watson's remarks to.

Phill Barlow, The Wirral, England

Wasn't there something about James Watson in the papers the other day?

J.Carmichael, London, UK

Comrade Robert Gabriel Mugabe...brought to you courtesy of Jimmy Carter, Andrew Young and Harold Wilson.

No uprising in Zim, all the Rhodesians that could leave, did.

American By Choice, Denver, CO

Is this what Dr. James Watson meant when he recently commented on "African intelligence"????

Abe, New Orleans, Louisiana

I bet Thabo Mbeki's not laughing. He believes everything Mugabe tells him.

jonas, Cape Town, South Africa

hey is she working New Year's Eve? This turn has got some mileage.

Marc, london,

This is just another example of the lies perpetrated by the British to embarrass comrade Robert Mugabe; please stop spreading these rumours; no one could be this stupid and still rule a country.

Its a joke, right?

GK, Calgary, Canada

Ms Tagarira should be made the President of Zimbabwe - she is obviously smarter than all the government put together.
