This is pure politics and nothing much to do with Net Impact, apologies for going off on a tangent, but what on earth is going on in Zimbabwe? That country is like a never-ending nightmare. Yesterday's Wall Street Journal wrote an editorial about the brutal arrest of opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai; in the accompanying photo, also published inthe New York Times, Tsvangirai was leaving a Hararean hospital with a swollen face and stitches on his half-shaved head.

It used to be a different place. In the 80´s Zimbabwe was the second largest economy in Africa.
Nowdays because of the currency fall a single brick costs more than a 3 bedroom house with swimming pool in the 90´s. Living conditions are in the same level as in the 50´s, life expectancy is 34 years and 37 years and unemployment level is over 80%.
All they can do is to wait for the dude to die since next year he is going to win the elections, again.
I know. Two of my friends from prep school and college are from Zimbabwe and they are both white. The other one's family lived on their own farm, and one can only imagine what's happened to their home and property since graduation. It's a travesty. No, actually - it's a tragedy.
Power corrupts and absolute power, it corrupts absolutely. Nobody is immune. Nobody.
