...initiatives or efforts for improvement. As Harvard focuses on sustainability, students can hardly comprehend Zimbabwe, where there is so little to sustain. A main hospital in the nation’s capital, Harare Central, closed two weeks ago. In a country with 231 million percent inflation, a nurse cannot even buy a soda with her weekly paycheck, about 12 US cents. At the SADC summit, Tsvangirai warned that one million Zimbabweans face death from starvation this winter. His remarks come with the UN’s announcement Tuesday that four million Zimbabweans are now receiving reduced rations from the World...
...millions of dollars marked for Zimbabwe, waiting for Mugabe’s removal from power to be released. This pragmatic acknowledgement that little can be done with Mugabe still a primary player seems justified: Mugabe has managed to maintain his grasp on Zimbabwe for this long. Yet Western nations cannot give in to cynicism. Some of that earmarked money must be sent to the WFP, for example, to help address Zimbabwe’s immediate food crisis, even if they might face resistance from Mugabe, who blocked a similar appeal for emergency funds in 2005.

Specifically, the U.S. should do everything possible to persuade Beijing to take action about Darfur. Looking south, the U.S. must remember Latin...
...Navy inspectors also recently criticized the U.S.S. New Orleans, the second vessel in the San Antonio's class. It "cannot support embarked troops, cargo or landing craft" - its primary mission - according to a report obtained by the independent Navy Times. Navy officials say the third and fourth vessels are performing much better. The rush to produce the fleet might make military sense if they were needed, but the last time Marines stormed ashore - the key reason the taxpayers are spending $14 billion on the San Antonio and at least eight more ships just like it - was nearly 60 years...
