Re: [A-List] "Jacob Zuma: US and her Western allies want South Africa to attack Zimbabwe militarily"

The list of defeats holds no surprises for anyone who has experienced Sinn 
Fein.  ( Do you think those defeats should be reversed?).  It doesn't mean 
that the US doesn't "want every liberation movement in Southern Africa 
severely weakened if not completely annihilated."
And "While Green Left Weekly defends the national sovereignty of Zimbabwe it 
does not support Mugabe's corrupt and brutal dictatorship" means it supports 
the overthrow of the Zimbabwean government, with the consequent inevitable 
brutal imperialist dictatorship.  -- J. D.
