Mugabe the Monster
I remember the first time I heard of starvation as a political tactic by the Monster Mugabe, I shouted "fine, if they don't want the food, let them starve!" Some co-workers were horrified and I quickly amended it: "No, I take that back, only the monster who actually ordered the famine in the first place should die. The rest of the population should stay alive and healthy"...
I still feel that way, so it is heartening that the Zimbabweans agree. Of course, the co-workers of mine still don't. One of them actually attended the Durban Disgrace, so perhaps it shouldn't be too surprising...

I can't say that I am not in favor of taking out any shitty tin-pot dictator that crosses CNN. Indeed, I believe I have been quite clear on believing that to be America's historical mission...
