Zimbabwean Pundit explains a country ruled by events bigger than Robert Mugabe:
"...It is not that we don't care about democracy or having the right politicians in place or any other high sounding question you may want to throw at us. No, our nonchalance is evidence only that we care about other things more than we care about politics and governance. We care more about living to see tomorrow. It is all about survival now. Such is the result of how simple and unsophisticated a society [Mugabe's] ZANU-PF has made us."
International pressure on Mugabe must increase, but then, Western moral legitimacy has never been lower.

I think regardless of the "moral standing" of the West Mugababe's atrocities are only redeemed "morally" speaking by his third worldliness and his race.
He gets away with it while the inordinantly African influenced UN does nothing effective to stop him.
A bit like Mao's merry career - as he wasn't of the "West" blame on him should be qualified. Funny, his poster is still hanging high in Tianmin Square.
Yes this is all racist - as that term only applies to "Western" attitudes.
