badgerx16 Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 Rhodesia if it was down to me. Now that would be a popular war. Presumably you would want a return to minority, apartheid style, Government ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 Apartheid was never adopted in Rhodesia. Please refrain from further contribution until you have educated yourself on the subject. I said 'apartheid style', I suggest you try to improve your cognitive abilities. If you believe that the black majority had any sort of say in how that country was run then you are deluded. "In the colony of Rhodesia the native Africans were ruled by an all-white government in which they were not allowed to participate. Only whites were granted the right to vote and elect the leaders governing their land. Laws were passed which prohibited the presence of Africans in many public places. Ordinances allowed for inequitable distribution the land that provided Zimbabwe's large population of farmers with sustenance. Under these ordinances, 6000 whites seized the best half of the land while the worst half was left to the 600,000 black peasant farmers (Chung 211). During the colonial rule that extended from 1890 to 1979, the white minority dominated and oppressed the native population and divested them of their land."

Heres a bit of edumacation for ya "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" or in case your edumacation is truly as limited and selective as your numerous posts would indictae "if it looks like aparthied and acts like aparthied it is F**cking aparthied" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 but on the issue of Libya can we agree that he has shown that a Conservative Government is better at managing global affairs. Yeah, so long as it doesnt require a f**king Navy......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dune Posted 21 October, 2011 Author Share Posted 21 October, 2011 Yeah, so long as it doesnt require a f**king Navy......... Blame Labour for the mess they left this time around and for giving away our Empire before that. We don't have the finances or the requirements we once had.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 First Bin Laden and now Gaddafi, and British politicans lining up to rejoice. Funny that because is it was Huntley, Fred West or Hindly they'd bang on about the death penalty having no place in a civilised society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot, instead of being put on trial. The Israelis would have been condemned by Leftie's everywhere had they done the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like a movie where the principal is left standing unscathed in a firefight whilst those around him are struck down. He was shot in a fire fight, he died. It was nothing like the Bin Laden incident and you're going all Daily Mail over a non issue. Edited 21 October, 2011 by View From The Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eye witness' are claiming that his son was captured alive, but he then turned up dead a few minutes later. I'm all for the death penalty, all for mass murderers being exacuted and filmed on mobile phones, but I'm not selective about it. If some hairy grunt did for Huntley during an "incident" in prison, Cameron and the rest of the two faced bastards would be condemning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 If he'd been seized by Western troops and shot you'd have something to get hysterical about. He wasn't, he was shot by his own people, during a civil war whilst at the center of a firefight. Very, very different to Bin Laden and one could argue a better end than Saddam.

dune Posted 21 October, 2011 Author Share Posted 21 October, 2011 (edited) Personally I'm glad he was shot in a crossfire (ha ha - bet British diplomats have been advising the NTC on that one!) or executed, because it saves all the hassle of a trial and it puts the matter to bed and rebuilding can commence.

The big hope for Libya is the small population relative to their oil wealth. They could easily rival rich gulf emirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
