		<description>Well - there you go. Interesting, if not very uninformed comment from democratic underground. I suggest you look up the work fascist in any nickel dictionary. One of the wonderful things about Amerika (sic) is that anyone - no matter race, political affiliation, country of origin, religous persuasion, citizen or visa visitor or green card holder has the absolute right to express pleasure or displeasure with government policies without fear of reprisal. This is not unique to the US - many countries around the world respect this right for all citizenry - it just doesn't happen to be the case in Zimbabwe right now - we can hope and pray that will soon change

		<description>Hope,
thank you for the encouragement. I cry for Zimbabwe. Two of my dearest friends in the world are Zimbabwean (I'll with hold names). I don't know what they will do in the months to come. They are currently out of the country, but their visas for the country where they are now residing will expire near the end of this year and they will be forced to make some tough decisions. For now they hace access to forex and are able to help family back home (in Zim), but I fear that might not last long enough for them to be able to continuie to help - I fear that the worst is yet to come. In swahili, we would say tuwepiga mayowe kwake Mungu kwa ajili ya wazimbabwe (let us cry out to God for the sake of the people of Zimbabwe)

		<description>Wayne, Zimbabweans have a phrase, we call it 'MAKING a plan' and we construct solutions out of nothing. The fact that we still continue is testimony to the resourcefulness of all our people. I think this will be a good thing one day in the future when we re-build our country.

Floence, I hear you, but you remember that Mugabe is famous for saying "absolute power is when a man is starving and you are the person with the food". And that is worrying.
