If Only Mugabe Were White...

Sad! It's so hard to understand this type of political inaction in a region that is so intricately connected. At some level I am simply trying NOT to understand it.

"Africa's rulers often complain, with justice, that the West's perceptions of the continent are disproportionately shaped by buffoons and tyrants rather than by the increasing number of democratically elected presidents presiding over 6 percent growth rates. But as long as African presidents mollycoddle Mugabe, they are branding Africa with his image."
