Zimbabwe Outrages

As reported and linked here, the insane persecution of his own poor by Zimbabwean dictator Mugabe continues. Silence from Mbeki, Mandela. Where is Randall Robinson?

Apparently Ian Smith, who declared Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) independed from Britain, to worldwide boycotts and denunciations, is still alive. I wonder what he's thinking..

Where is the outrage now? Boycotts and embargos? Security Council resolutions? If there were Korans in the fires with which Mugabe's thugs are burning the shantytowns, would Newsweek and Human Rights Watch get excited?
