#4 Better background story.

Reynolds, who had won some prominence in Zimbabwe for helping draw investment to hotel and office projects... Reynolds reportedly complained that he was not expecting such treatment when he had brought investors to the country. He said he had been to Zimbabwe 17 times and had called for U.S. sanctions to be dropped against President Robert Mugabe and his associates

You seriously think Mel would pay his own way to Zim-Bob?
