Heh, About a year ago one of the CBC Radio people (Anna Maria Tramonte?) 
interviewed a Zimbabwe higher-up about razing a bunch of homes that 
didn't have proper permits (or some such) leaving many thousands 
homeless. At one point she asked this rep why Mugabe would be building 
another multi-million dollar house while his people are suffering such 
incredible poverty and hardship. His answer was to accuse her of racism 
because, as he put it, she couldn't accept that a black man was successful.

Mugabe et. al. have their heads so far up the rears that they can tickle 
their own tonsils with their tongues. What do they care about the 
internet? It's convenient censorship, I should expect.

If only they had oil...
