Zimbabwe "elections"

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

and when has Carter spoke out in support of him?

Mugabe has massively cracked down on trade unions recentely by the way.

Mugabe gets to appoint 20 seats, so even if the MDC wins a "slight" victory (probably not as slight as it would be), he still retains control. Hopefully the African Union will put pressure like they did in Togo. and a Ukraine type situation could occur.

I wonder who Ian Smith is voting for. Are there no white parties?

someone just needs to cap Mugabe. There's no other way to get rid of that lunatic.

I was delighted to learn of Robert Mugabe's victory. I believe that his land distribution policies, while flawed, are the only way to displace certain of white colonial domination. Hopefully, Zimbabwe will move forward rather than backward.

um, he hasn't improved life at all for the blacks since the white rule. The land reform hasn't improved things at all for the typical blacks, just that Mugabe and his cronies grabbed all the best land for themselves, and still aren't caring that the common people are starving. Mugabe hasn't done a thing for the typical black who suffered under colonial rule, he just forced them from one tyranny to another.

I also would never praise a victory that occured after such obvious fraud, such as this.

Now please point me to Jimmy Carter's praise of Mugabe or his claims that the elections were fair.

This is an article on Jimmy Carter and Mugabe.

the Mugabe of 1980 is far different than today. Look at the archived Freedom House scores.

The question is whether Carter has praised Mugabe recentely, or claimed the recent elections were legitimate, as Notre dame has claimed here.
