| Zimbabwe's economy falls on its knees |
| 2005-03-26 |
 Stuff we already knew, with some numbers.As Zimbabwe heads for key parliamentary elections on Thursday, Mugabe has sought to pin the blame for his country's economic woes on "colonialist" powers like Britain and the United States who he says have undermined his policies. |

| #5 In the paper today was a column by NYT Kristof about his secret tour of Zimbabwe (he had to sneak in since Bob now arrests reporters). Kristof said that a lot of the locals were longing for the days of the "racist" white govt just so they can eat. Like the Norks, everyone is starving. Kristof was sorely vexed that it had come to this. His conclusion: It's all the West's (read as USA's) fault and that we should do something. As long as its not unilateral, I suppose. davemac |

| #3 Neck thingy emulating chain - check Medals - check Pointy star - check Where the f**k is the sash? Do you think that ZimbaBob, at any point, for a fleeting moment, had some illusions that what he does is good for the country? Well, maybe, if he thought that what is good for him is good for the country. |
