It wasn’t enough that Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe had opposition party leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, beaten up. Tsvangirai refused to be intimidated, and pushed forward with a planned news conference. So Mugabe had Tsvangirai arrested. What’s Mugabe got to worry about? He’s rich, safe, and comfortable, and to heck with his own people, whom he calls “filth,” and who are suffering badly:
Zimbabweans are grappling with the world’s highest inflation - 1,700% a year - while unemployment and poverty are widespread.

To my liberal classmates at Cornell University–the ones who said I was a warmongering Reaganite–I recall writing in the Cornell Sun that Mugabe was a terrorist. Well, I told you so.

Bill - HOW COULD YOU?! Mugabe’s standing up to us evil, capitalist, imperialist pigs just like the great Castro, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong il. NOT!
I had a similar experience in college, arguing with the “Democratic Socialists of America.” I hung around for the girls.
