Fine feature on Prime Time last night about how Robert Mugabe and his Monstrous Raving Loony Party are quite literally destroying Zimbabwe. In the way of these things, it was shocking, but not very surprising stuff (state-engineered famine, dispossession, clampdown on the press, ban on foreign NGOs).

Here's a link to a not-entirely serious Robert Mugabe website.

If Boy George and Crony Blair were actually serious about promoting democracy, instead of just pretending they are, they'd be supporting opposition movements in places like Zimbabwe.

Here, here! Apparently there's a large opposition movement in Iran too. Dubya said in his Inauguaration speech after his (re)election last year that the US would support all moves by Iranians who want to rise up against the psychotic regime over there. It'd be interesting to see if he'd follow through on that pledge if there was a democratic uprising in Iran.
