The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
I have already expended quite a few posts on Zimbabwe and the recent turmoil there. I can’t quite express the disappointment that I feel with regards to the latest outcome other than say that I hope that Mugabe gets exactly what is coming to him. Unfortunately, I am familiar with this tune and can see how it will probably pan out. Thus, I won’t bore you with another tirade, I will link to some sober words of the Political Umpire, who has pretty much said what I would have liked to say (only far more politely that I can manage this fine morning). For those interested, I am quoting Thomas Jefferson there in the header, but hold little hope that it will happen.
