...aura Wednesday, telling the crowd of some 13,500 on the South Lawn that he and Laura were privileged to welcome him to the White House and that the world needed his messages of morality and freedom. The theatrics continued with a fife and drum band and a chorus singing "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

There is little expectation that the organization will reverse its stand on Mugabe this time around, not least because SADC often bridles at any kind of outside intervention; and Mugabe blames sanctions and persistent imperial ambitions of white foreigners for his country's economic woes. Certainly someone has a lot to answer for: the former British colony now has a six-figure annual inflation rate, unemployment is 80%, and average life expectancy stands...
