You bet South Rhodesia did a lot better than under Mugabe.
Ian Smith saw that one coming - but nobody listened.

Seems too easy to apply your position to other great leaders of the past. Hitler, Mussolini, Castro, etc.

Parts of Africa have fallen apart since the British pulled out. I guess they were better off under colonial rule?


Given what's going on in some parts of Africa these days probably so. Did you hear about the mother that was forced to have sex with her son? How about the little girls who get their vaginas mutilated after sex? Then there are the mass rapes and killings. Yeah, I would say things were better under the British.
