He regime is democratic only in name--in practice: he routinely denies life, liberty, and property. So, the problem is not how Mugabe has been portrayed...but, how the world has let this dictator [let's call the man what he is] go without enough international reprisal.

This is not a Coke/Pepsi dilemma - which you seem to be insinuating with your last sentence, "The Zimbabweans who oppose Mugabe are sorely mistaken if they think their quality of life will improve under a puppet rule and the old colonial plantation system,"i.e. "Why bother to change leadership, life won't get any better." Well, it is assured that as long as Mugabe is in charge life won't get any better. He's ripping pages out of the biographies of African and Western dictators - shutting down press, overprinting tons of currency, all while highlighting the terrifying specter of the West. Unfortunately, the enemy is an African one and mimics his every movement in the mirror. All the same, Chloe, I don’t think Zimbabweans are doing too well under Mugabe.

Whites seized millions of acres of Zimbabwe's most arable land for themselves and set up plantation systems where the natives were forced to work for paltry wages. Most lived in poverty. Mugabe returned that land to his people and the farmers and rural citizens are grateful for his reforms. Meanwhile, the US and Britain are doing everything to support the opposition movement and are actively trying to overthrow him....anything to get back into the country and resume control.

His people are risking their lives illegaly crossing the border to S.A in search of food while he entertains presidents and goes to conferences in 1st class jet.
