#1 inspired a unique African racism, blacks killing blacks.
Only unique in the sense that it's not whites killing whites or orientals killing orientals. ZimBobwe, the PRC, Cambodia, the USSR, Cuba, all have something in common besides killing large numbers of their own people. Care to guess what it is?

#2 Black leaders in Africa opted for quiet diplomacy, believing that Africans must become masters of their own destiny

Appears to me they are doing a smashingly good job of "destiny mastering." I'd recommend we ship them all the small arms ammunition they need, stay the phuech out of it, and leave them to their business.

#4 Doffing their race-laced caps to an old revolutionary, African nations have become complicit in the killing of a neighbouring people. Taking action against Mugabe would essentially mean siding with white Western leaders, apparently a sin worse than genocide.

And this is what dooms sub-Saharan Africa. It is a racism more powerful than even a Klansman can conceive of. Genocide pales beside such tribal barbarism.

He hangs out at UN lovefests in New York, last September delivering a speech that drew a standing ovation when he talked about "an unprecedented era of peace and tranquillity" dawning in many parts of Africa.

Its tranquil at the top. Nowhere else, but always at the top.

Cool looking medals

Someone needs to take that necklace of sprockets and strangle Mugabe with it but slowly, very slowly.
