>It is with the greatest sadness that I express my deep >sympathy and condolences to the Rhodesian expatriate >community on the passing of Ian Smith. Please accept >these few words as my own personal memorial to him. > >It was my interest in the terrible state of >immigration affairs within my own county that led me >to find and read a series of books which focused on >historical accounts of racial strife and national >decay. Needless to say one of them was Smith’s The >Great Betrayal. I read the book in the fall of 2003. >I had known little of Rhodesia or her history before >reading it. But after finishing the book I was left >with a profound respect for Smith, as a man of courage >and supreme principle; a longing for the well ordered >Rhodesia which he described and that I had never had >opportunity to experience, and; utter distain and >contempt for the people and policies who led to its >end. > >Since then I have periodically searched the web to see >what the latest news was with Ian Smith, and it only >today (February 28, 2008) that I have learned of his >passing. In this country those who lived and fought >in the Second World War are stylized in popular media >as “The Greatest Generation”. The term I think is >just as (if not more) fitting to those, like Smith, >who not only fought the oppressive tyranny of WWII, >but then devoted the remainder of their lives to the >preservation of Western Culture and its people in the >face of insurmountable odds. I pray that we continue >the fight with the same conviction, courage and >tenacity. > >May God bless Ian Smith and may his memory live >forever within the harts of his people.
