Oh, You!
That silly PRESIDENT OF ZIMBABWE is at it again, folks.
This great man who publicly backed the ethnic cleansing of his country in 2000 and oversaw the displacement and even outright murder of thousands of white farmers in his land has now taken further steps to protect his people.
He's officially banned a specific kind of international aid group. Guess which kind. I bet you can! Go on, guess!
That's right, he's banned all HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS. Hip hip, huzzah!
Let's hear it for progress, eh? I mean who needs a pesky thing like individual rights getting in the way of "governance issues" right? That's what the world needs, more leaders like Mr Mugabe who can take charge and tell us all what's good for us, especially when it's probably not. Good for us, I mean.
Hey, wait a minute! Why does that sound so familiar? Hmmmm.....
All sarcasm aside, if we (meaning the United States as an international political entity) are so interested in policing the world and ridding it of "evil regimes" as the current administration would like us to believe, then how come we didn't lift a finger to stop the "etnic cleansing" of Zimbabwe in 2000? And equally important; why is NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC the only major news source that reported on the massacre of 2000? I bet many of you reading this had never even heard about it.
