Wonder what happened to Tucker? She used to be among the most disgusting shills for left-wing cause celebres' that I ever had the queasiness to read. But here I see her actually condemning a brutal dictator who was once beloved by the media.... darn! Must be time for the Second Coming...
White skin makes Mugabe shudder. Shameful silence in response to ethnic cleansing in Zimbabwe***He will go on shuddering until he has rid Zimbabwe of its white population. But you won't hear Africa's leaders speak up for a threatened minority, nor will the African secretary-general of the UN, Kofi Annan, rally the international community to support the beleaguered farmers of Matabeleland. And I would bet anything you like that we won't hear any of our Western leaders use the phrase 'ethnic cleansing'. That would create an obligation to intervene to protect the vulnerable, and, for all the fine rhetoric, this simply will not happen. The whites of Zimbabwe have been abandoned. Some will try to hang on and hope that Mugabe dies of old age or is eventually overthrown; but most will eventually be driven out, the victims of Robert Mugabe's racism and our indifference. As Naomi Raaff said, it's over.***
