Just one more example to prove the adage that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Though I doubt seriously that the Marxist Internationale that forced the embargos on Rhodesia and South Africa gave a shit about "good intentions". Another victory for world socialism - tear down anything successful so everyone (except the annointed leaders) is even more miserable than when they started; then put the corrupt, incompetent thugs who butchered their way to power in charge to see to it that nothing ever rises out of the resultant cesspool again. (And everyone wonders why "progressives" hate the 2nd Amendment.)

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
