Robert Mugabe is a joke. The only thing is that he is not funny. He is a tragic, despotic and ruthless man. In these last “elections” in Zimbabwe he once again intimidated the opposition and the voters, this time to the point where Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the opposition party Movement for Democratic Change, found it futile and dangerous to stay in the elections and pulled out. He even encouraged the people to vote for Mugabe if they were threatened, and said something in the lines of “don’t be foolish! God knows what’s in your hearts.” I find this very troubling and sad. Here’s a man who has been brave enough to face and criticize Mugabe, a man who wants to bring an end to the era of economic mismanagement and tyranny in Zimbabwe, knowing that the wife of a former opposition leader had her hands and feet cut off and was burned alive, and in the end he feels forced to encourage his supporters to vote for his lunatic adversary.
Mugabe is also stupid. To show you, here’s a few examples. The following is a statement he made about homosexuality:
“It's unnatural and there is no question ever of allowing these people to behave worse than dogs and pigs. If dogs and pigs do not do it, why must human beings? We have our own culture, and we must re-dedicate ourselves to our traditional values that make us human beings... What we are being persuaded to accept is sub-animal behaviour and we will never allow it here. If you see people parading themselves as lesbians and gays, arrest them and hand them over to the police!"
Apparently he sets dogs and pigs sexual instincts as a frame of reference for what kind of sexual preferences humans should have. No comment needed. And this is what he said about Hitler:
"This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources. If that is Hitler, then let me be a Hitler tenfold". Enough said.
And to top if of, I give you his latest blunder. Take a look at this clip where Mugabe is “bothered” by an ITN correspondent:

His answer is obviously not very well thought trough. He knows he stole the elections, that the process was unfair, he tries to attack the British with his reponse, and the result is poetic:
ITN Correspondent: "On what basis do you regard yourself as President of Zimbabwe?"
Mugabe: "On the same basis as Gordon Brown regards himself as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe."
So, on a false basis. Smooth Robert, very smooth..
