      53rd? OK 51st is Groom Lake, 52nd is IONA, 53rd The Moon, 54th Disneyland Paris, 55th Disneyland Tokyo, 56th Disneyland Hong Kong, 57th is Puerto Rico, 58th WILL BE Cuba in a couple of years. 59th State Surely?

        We never had Pakistan, it was never part of the Empire! We had the area when it was part of India, but after it went independant, it was merely Commonwealth, not Empire. India can have it back if they like!

          Probably not :( Do you have any figures? The bush war had roughly 30,000 casualties (my uncle fought in it, not on the side of Mugabe naturally.) No idea what to do in Africa anymore. I don't think colonial rule would help, it wouldn't develop the area or people, just surpress the problems until the West gets sick of it again and leaves (hello Iraq, welcome to your future.) Even having been born there and lived there most of my life hasn't helped me understand how to get the tribes to live together peacefully and prosperously. The man on the street is a decent, law abiding, peaceful man but they get whipped up by tin-pots and tribal lines are so easily raised. It doesn't help that the West continues to pump money into it, forming powerful oil/mineral conglomerates who favour whoever is in power. Lots of short-term thinking in Africa from all sides.

          I can offer nothing to the argument about how to help. As you say you understand the problems only a little and you live there! It is a sad state of affairs, but maybe a benevolent dictatorship would improve the lot of the average man?

                I think it is the Republicans last hope. That he was really born in Kenya and had his birth cert forged in Hawaii. I'm pretty sure they'll soon find a link between Obama and Saddam too, 7th son of the 7th son of the twelfth concubine of Saddam Hussein.

                    Round about the same time someone faked his birth cetificate. From what I've seen the only people who'll swear to remembering Barrack being born where in Kenya where he has a valid birth certificate. ;)

                                        It is a sad state of affairs, but maybe a benevolent dictatorship would improve the lot of the average man?

                                        Who amongst us is truly benevolent? I wouldn't even want Nelson Mandela the benevolent dictator.

                                        cheers, Paul M. Watson.

                                          Round about the same time someone faked his birth cetificate. From what I've seen the only people who'll swear to remembering Barrack being born where in Kenya where he has a valid birth certificate. ;)

                                          And they got two beers and a bolt of cloth as soon as they swore?
