The former prime minister of Rhodesia, Ian Smith, has died aged 88. The cause of his death is unknown but he had been ill for some time at a residential home in South Africa. He illegally declared independence from Britain in 1965 and his white minority government led the country for 14 years amid international scorn and sanctions. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7104552.stm

Yes, its a shame that sheer arrogance and idiocy of a small group of people eventually led to a terrible deterioration ... Rhodesia would have been much better off today without him seizing power.

Good riddance indeed.
