Mugabe: “How Can a Pen Fight a Gun?”
Robert Mugabe, the tyrant of Zimbabwe (and good friend of Dr. M), on his impending election loss:
“We fought for this country, and a lot of blood was shed,” Mr Mugabe told his supporters. “We are not going to give up our country because of a mere X. How can a ballpoint fight with a gun?”
The warning came a day after he declared: “We are ready to go to war.” Evidence, say observers, of mounting concerns that he may not have done enough to secure the vote.
What causes men to act like this? Ego? A hunger for power? Mental illness? Or is the man just plain evil? I just hope Zimbabwe has a future.
I wonder what Dr. M has to say about all this. Would he still invite Mugabe to retire here?

There was a movie I watched once that satired Zimbabwe…darn…the name escapes me. In that show, the Mugabe-character waves a gun around. Looks like satires coming real.
