If Only Mugabe Were White-Kristof-NYT
My response on Kristof's blog copied below. By the way, without taking anything away on the Mugabe issue in this Op-Ed, what type of op-editorialist dolt would think that $5 Million could buy off a megalomaniac dictator who has undoubtedly stolen one hundred times that amount in his years of rule?
“Quote from Kristof's op-ed: 'Mozambique, South Africa and Congo will also cut off the electricity they provide to Zimbabwe.'
Hmmm… Interesting that when you make this statement in your Op-Ed, you don’t rail about this constituting collective punishment of Zimbabwe’s populace, as you would (and have) when Israel threatens to do the same to Gaza, whose leadership sponsors the firing of rockets at Israeli towns WITH THE INTENTION of killing civilians. Hamas, of course, was truly democratically elected to lead the Gazans, unlike Mugabe, making the justice of such electricity cutoffs all-the-more justified in Gaza.
What say you, Mr. Kristof, about this apparent double standard? RAB"
