Fraser's favourite African is up to his usual fun n' games: notably, starving
opposition supporters to death.
But the price
of such persistent opposition has been high. For three months,
the ruling Zanu-Patriotic Front party has blocked food shipments into
the
district, in a blatant and ruthless use of food as a political weapon
in the former
British colony.
Cradling her
baby in her arms, Ms Mwinde said she and her children had not
eaten for two days. They have survived for months on leaves, roots and
seeds
from the bush.
The food situation
is similar in scores of villages around the district. Standing
in the doorway of his one-room hut, Samson Munkuli, 48, says he has
not
eaten for days. The muscle and flesh on his arms and legs have wasted
away.
He is a living skeleton, but he will not live long.
Being
black and socialist, Mugabe fits nicely into the "politically correct
tyrant" category. Yet another nice person John Pilger, Kerry Nettle
and the SMH's letter-writers aren't too worried about.

Blair on Pilger

Blair does
a nice dissection of John Pilger's latest TV appearance. If you ever
needed convincing that Pilger is a paranoid, dishonest, amoral lunatic,
this will convince you.

The Pilger-loving
crowd love to talk about the non-existent enormous casualties caused by
"sanctions". It's rather telling that they never like to talk
about this
stuff.
Frequently, confessions
are extracted by torturing not only the prisoner, but his family members
as well. His wife and daughters are raped, and sometimes beheaded, as
he watches. His children or grandchildren – in many cases mere
toddlers – are burned with cigarette butts; their eyes are gouged
out; all the bones in their feet are crushed; their ears and limbs are
amputated, one at a time. If no confession is forthcoming, the youngsters
are slaughtered. Moreover, some of these prisons actually house the
children of suspected dissidents – children younger than twelve
who are packed into cells and left to rot amid pools of their own excrement,
blood, and tears.
Ah, but we all know
Dubya is the most evil man on earth...right?
