I didn't see that, I believe he was implying that "Ian Smith" ran Rhodesia properly. ** You** like so many people do, added the racial overtone.

Clinging on grimly to a 19th century view of the world until the whole thing fell over, and what emerged from the mess was the worst possible outcome, as usually happens when you try and sail against the wind politically. Very well run indeed.

That page is blatant propaganda, incidentally.

This is what happens when the lunatics run the asylum
