Irish voted NO to british dictated lIsbaon treaty and the british and her agents in Euroe are cursing the IRish for that and pressurising them to change the vote. so much for the de3mocracy. in afganistana nd iraq was elelcted maerican stooges after rigged vote under american occupation -that was legitimized by this uselss uno. daily scores are dying in iraq -that does not bother UNO but what happens in zimbawbe does .
knowing that the wetern stooge was not going to win in the elction the british started talking of postponing the elction faling which they ordered thier stooge to withrdraw from campian so that legitimacy of vote will be doubted. and who are thse parasites briitsh who cast aspitration when they were the ones prodding GOre to concede the rigged elction of america 2000.

in the Dutch embassy, I believe. His life is in danger. Mugabe is a thug and a murderer and cares first about his own hold on power. Unfortunately, the Zimbabweans are last on his list.

I don't blame him for not going along with this sham election. I just hope he lives long enough to see Mugabe overthrown and the people of Zimbabwe free again.
