Clean up your own house first

Mugabe Attacks Big Brother World of Bush and Blair

Zimbabwean President-for-Life-and-Beyond Robert Mugabe, that champion of fair play and African arbiter of political morality, has taken Tony Blair and Shrub to task for pushing for a war against Iraq. Methinks Emperor Mugabe would be better served by looking into a mirror before criticizing anyone.

"Bush and Blair have apparently developed similar war-like dispositions deriving from similar ideologies of new imperialism," Mugabe told the summit.

"The United States, awakened to the implications of being the sole superpower, joined by Britain as a born-again colonialist, and other Western countries have turned themselves into fierce hunting bull-dogs raring to go, as they sniff for more blood, Third World blood."

I'll tell you what; first stop rigging elections and murdering your political opponents- perhaps then the rest of the world will consider taking your opinions seriously.

talking about cleaning up your own house first and dodgey elections etc. america would have more credibility within the international community if... 1: its own own president had been elected democratically, 2: it didn't have a record of supporting dictators and terrorists when it suits its own purpose, 3: recognised that the concept of pre-emptive strikes sets a bad example if other countries chose to follow suit, 4: recognised that democracy comes through grass roots, 5: stopped befriending people and organisations that obstruct grass roots democracy, and 6: stopped blathering on about how "they won the war", for while there were around 300,000 american lives sacrificed in ww2 after america eventually joined in the fight against fascism, there were around 600,000 french casualities and 20 million russians.

Lets see... Zimbabwe
