Jared, you should take the trouble to study up on Zimbabwe. You are taking
one sentence out of context. Mugabe has spent 15 years bending over
backwards to keep the World Bank and the IMF placated. The only reason he
is kicking up dust with the MDC today is to hold on to power. It is
completely demagogic. The Marxist left has no business solidarizing itself
with Mugabe, nor Thabo Mbeki for that matter. We should be looking out for
the next Thomas Sankara, not these bums.
