Africa: There Is a Limit to How Much Murder, Rapaciousness and Misery We Will Tolerate...Maybe
You've reached tin pot dictator Hall of Fame status when your peer, neighboring tin pot dictators convene a pow wow to figure out what to do about you.
Still, a multiple choice question. The outcome of the Southern African Development Commuity's "emergency summit" on Zimbabwe will result in:
a) A strong condemnation of Robert Mugabe and coordinated action and assistance to transition Zimbabwe to a post-Mugabe, democratically elected regime (bucking up and solving their own problems);
b) A call for international financial commitments to stem the economic dislocation afflicting Zimbabwe (asking for money);
c) Solidarity with Zimbabwe against lingering colonialist/imperialist forces wreaking havoc on Zimbabwe (blaming whitey);
d) A bland statement in support of human rights and an empty commitment to enhancing human rights in Zimbabwe (talk talk just like at the UN).
UPDATE: Sorry, I should have given you option e) b and c (blame whitey AND ask for money).
UPPDATE: And the answer appears to be something between c and d.
