Re: [A-List] Zimbabwe's political opposition deploys its own WMD claim



It is said that in Zimbabwe, economy is in its tenth year of
recession, and inflation is running at "355,000 percent" (according to
Bloomberg: Jason McLure and Antony Sguazzin, "Zimbabwe's MDC Quits
Runoff; Pressure on Africa Grows (Update4),"
<http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a2VcxN7LyK1c&refer=home>).

Under normal circumstances, a government presiding over such an
economy, whatever its ideological orientation, would have been
overthrown a long time ago, with no assistance whatsoever from any
imperialist.  The only puzzle is why it hasn't happened yet.

The way it's going, the end game will be East Timorization and that's
not a happy ending.
