today they said

Prime Minister David Cameron of Great Britain:
"We will support any United Nations action in Ivory Coast to remove President Gbagbo and replace him with the man we consider the legitimate President of that country, Mr Ouattara."
 *****
James Healy:
"Now let me see. This one's a doozy. Correct me if I'm wrong. But as Prime Minister of Great Britain you've just offered unqualified support for any military action in a remote backwater called Ivory Coast that no one's ever heard of and which has no strategic importance to the world, you've offered unqualified support I say for the removal of President Laurent Gbagbo who is the leader of a tribe in Ivory Coast that is broadly Christian in its cultural ethnicity and who is also now the actual President of his country, duly appointed by his country's Supreme Court and recognised by his country's army, after an admittedly disputed election, and who has in any case offered to accept the results of an election recount in his country, a country by the way that has never accepted Muslim rulership through the back door and is unlikely to accept it any time soon, and yet one which you Mr Cameron are willing to plunge into imminent civil war in order to impose on Ivory Coast the will of the Islamic tribe of Mr Ouattara who has explicitly refused to countenance any election recount. Hoo baby. And this, when at the same time Mr Cameron, you and your immediate predecessors as Prime Minister of Great Britain have been unwilling to contemplate and still refuse to contemplate any direct action whatsoever against the dictator Robert Mugabe who has spent the last thirty years blatently stealing elections in one of Africa's largest, richest and most important country's, namely Zimbabwe, and who has imposed Stalinist communism on that country, systematically bankrupting it, while murdering and imprisoning his perceived rivals, causing the mass exodus of at least three million of the general populace, and reducing to penury and starvation a goodly portion of the remaining five million in a country that would be the richest in Africa if this conflict theory Marxist was compelled to stand aside and the rule of (let's face it, British American style) law was reinstituted. Great Scott. This Britain that was wont to conquer others hath made a shameful conquest of itself. Well. You know what I mean, Guv."

Robert Mugabe (singing):
"It's a lot like life.
It's what I call reality.
A lot like life.
A lot like life.
We call it
Masters And Servants.
Let's play
Masters And Servants.
By spouting hypocritical bilge
about the evil white man
We make the peasants our slaves
Driving down a nay-shun
The white man is gone
But the blacks are still slaves
We call it
Masters And Servants
Let's play
Masters And Servants
I steal elections
Imposing murderous Marxism
While warning about the honkeys
And the evils of colonialism
I got a palace
But Zimbabwe stays poor
We call it
Masters And Servants.
Let's play
Masters And Servants."
