Please don't put words into my mouth dear Fred, especially if you don't
understand the line of argument.

Where do you get this made-up stuff, man? Who in the opposition relies
on sanctions? Who supports them? Are you paying attention, at all?

Why do I give Mugabe a bit of attention? Because I work lots on
Zimbabwe, and have lived there on and off since 1987. I've also "singled
out" capital-in-general, specific capitalists, Mandela, Mbeki, Bush,
Blair and a few thousand others in my writings, far more than Mugabe in
fact.

What's with this list about jumping to conclusions without doing
homework? Cram a bit more, guys.
