  Rhodesian issues just go to show how complex these things are........under Ian Smith there were many good things developed, balanced by the reduced opportunities for the native population to thrive politically and financially. People were better off in terms of benefits and less well off in terms of parity. When Mugabe took power the good developments disappeared, whites who understood the farming were turfed off the land, people who did not yet have the experience to thrive tried and failed to maintain growth, and thugs became standard on the streets and in the political houses. It all seems to be a good argument for evolution rather than revolution. Time to develop can reap benefits, even if the status quo (sorry!) seems unfair.
