Wow talk about a long sentence, but I'm too tired to fix it tonight ;) |
Good point. Mugabe, who ruled Zimbabwe for a good while before his people hung him from a tree (!!) had a fortune of over 9 billion dollars when he died... Guess where the money came from? Yup, the western worlds "aid" to Africa.
