Update: Zimbabwe's President Mugabe has banned Care International aid, saying workers campaign for the opposition party, which Care soundly denies. That was aid to about 500,000 Zimbabweans, now gone. Obviously Mugabe isn't worried about election results. And in South Africa, well, at least they got rid of APARTHEID, huh? And here at home, a similar type of Socialist is the Democrats' nominee. The lessons of history... have to be learned first-hand. Sad, that we haven't progressed much. When proto-humans learned from their mistakes, usually it was too late, they were dead. One would think language would allow us to learn from OTHERS' mistakes, but "It could never happen HERE."
Ah, and it's 19 years ago this week that unarmed Chinese were literally crushed as they demonstrated for democracy and freedom in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. Their own military and police did the crushing. 130 of the surviving demonstrators are still in prison. All known sympathizers have also been rounded up to prevent embarrassing protests during the Olympics. Are live shots of the Square still prohibited for the duration? Even by Authorized Journalists?
