Nostalgic For Rhodesia

You know Mugabe hacked up and then burned an opponent's wife the other day, right? (Might not matter, she was only a woman.) ninme catalogs the latest doings, complete with links, but summarized nicely here:

Poor Zimbabwe. Stuck between an insane octegenarian (and what does he have to lose?) and a West that can only summon enough bravery to merely suggest the possibility of broaching the subject of some day potentially sending in an ill-equipped, badly-organized group of would-be soldiers with a tendency towards sexual exploitation of the 12-year-old female population and an even worse success record.

Somewhere in a box of memorabilia I have my old I heart Rhodesia t-shirt (from one of Dad's journalism junkets.) Might have to start wearing it.
