[...] Even better, we've also managed to reach another environmental goal. (I know a lot of my friends in the west have been playing up the environment, pretending they really care about it. You guys are great at that scam, really.) So I wanted to pass along that we managed to reduce our population from 12 million to just 8 million in only seven years! (I told you there were business opportunities here!). Oh sure, some are still alive despite all the AIDS patients we "cure" each month , but they live in South Africa now. Not my problem, man! But I have bragging rights for having eased the strain on natural resources! See, I can do it just like you guys do. [...]

[...] Gee, it sure is swell getting a chance to write all these letters to folks out there on the interwebby that tell the truth about what's really going on in my little worker's paradise, Zimbabwe. I've had a chance to tell folks about a real growth industry, a surplus in pet food and my great environmental cleanup efforts. Never let it be said that Robert Mugabe isn't helping to lead his country into a glorious future! I also have to thank this Blue Crab Boulevard blog for helping me get the real word out, even if it is run by a running dog imperialist lackey. [...]

[...] Hi again, loyal readers! I've been telling all my good fiends about what a blast I've been having getting the real word out to the world about Zimbabwe. (I suspect Kim and Hugo envy my mastery of the English language.) The last two letters have been very well received so I'll just keep writing them. Anyway, I have some more great news about my country I thought I'd share. [...]

[...] Hey, getting the real truth out from Zimbabwe is kind of fun! I've gotten many fan letters on my skills at communication from fellow leftists, so I thought I'd follow up on yesterday's letter. I reported then about some of the distortions the world media has been making. I also pointed to a really hot growth industry over here: mortuaries. That's right, smart foreign investors have a chance to (excuse the expression) make a killing in the funeral business here in Zimbabwe. But one thing that has been bothering me is the food situation here. Look, I know things are tough right now, but they are getting better every day. In fact, I am proud to report that we now have a big surplus in pet food! Even the foreign media is impressed: HARARE, Zimbabwe – Pets are being slaughtered for meat in shortage-stricken Zimbabwe and record numbers of animals have been surrendered to shelters or abandoned by owners no longer able to feed them, animal welfare activists say.

Poor Zimbabwe. Even after he’s gone, it will takes decades for it to recover from the havoc he’s wrought.

I’d like to see him tried and jailed for what he has done. As a sort of object lesson for other bad actors in Africa.

If there were justice in Africa, someone would assassinate Mugabe. As it is, when he’s finally driven out of Zimbabwe, he’ll mostly likely retire to a luxury apartment on the Champs d’Elysee, like all the rest of the murdering thugs of the world.
