Mientras escribo este articulo, parece que la nacion de Zimbabwe esta en el proceso de una descomposicion debido a un proceso electoral donde el Presidente [Mugabe] no quiere reconocer su derrota. Incluso, Mugabe esta rearmando a sus milicias y seguidores para atacar y agredir a la oposicion. Ahora mismo en esa tierra sangrada y con una inflacion de mas de 100,000%, hablan de los granjeros saliendo de se casas y propiedades.

La Oposicion en Zimbabwe pide una interferencia de las naciones Africanas y la ONU retandolo en cumplir con la palabra “Jamas”. Incluso, la oposicion en Sudafrica incluyendo los sindicatos condenan la indiferencia de Sudafrica hacia Zimbabwe con comentarios Fuertes. Mientras tanto, Sudafrica y la Comunidad Mundial parece como unos tontos utiles con su indiferencia. Que es lo que tomaria para despertar a la comunidad? Espero que la comunidad internacional comienza el proceso de ponerse los pantalones y pedir la dimision de Mugabe y sus seguidores si perdieron las elecciones presidenciales. Si hay otra situacion como Ruanda en Zimbabwe, los culpables seran la Comunidad Internacional.

Espero que la FIFA toma en cuenta las cosas pues Sudafrica sera el anfitrion de la Copa Mundial 2010. Aunque estoy en contra de un boicot de la Copa Mundial, estoy escribiendo pensando en aquellos que tienen planificado un viaje a Sudafrica para participar en las festividades y en la Copa Mundial. Si Mugabe es permitido seguir su rumbo con Zimbabwe explotandose en una Guerra Civil, esa Guerra puede cruzar la frontera de Zimbabwe con las naciones vecinas incluyendo Sudafrica poniendo en peligro la Copa Mundial de 2010.

In other developments, Mr. Tendai Biti [Secretary General of the MDC] has asked African States to intervene before “there are dead bodies in Harare”. Mr. Biti has expressed his fear that Mugabe could declare a state of martial law using the assaults created by his followers as a pretext. I was hoping for a peaceful resolution but my worst fears are being realized and it is not surprising. Mugabe and people like him are [in the majority] of a totalitarian bent with the concept of “Me, Me, and I”.

SABC News.com: “Zimbabwe’s Opposition Warns of Bloodshed”

If the Houston Dynamos want to win the MLS Cup three straight times, they have to organize themselves into a team that can possess the ball and the game. At the present time, the Houston Dynamos are suffering from the mentality of "We can win" without actually doing the things necessary such as taking advantage of an opponent's weakness. The Houston Dynamos also appear to suffer from a lack of organization, coordination, and discipline that is necessary in any successful bid for the MLS Cup. It also did not help that the Houston Dynamos lost to the New England Revolution on the 29th of March 2008 with Steve Ralston, Adam Cristman and Sainey Nyassi scoring for the New England Revolution while the Houston Dynamos were disorganized. The New England Revolution's three to zero victory over the Houston Dynamos in that game was proof as to the lack of coordination, discipline, and organization within the team.

LOS VESTIGIOS DE LA GUERRA FRIA

Los Comunistas como Chavez no son los unicos en querer nacionalizar. Los Republicanos [bajo Bush] y los Democratas quieren nacionalizar a los Bancos en EEUU. Mira lo que paso en Zimbabwe despues de las nacionalizaciones en el 2000, Un Dolar Estadounidense [que vale menos que un Euro y una Libra Esterlina] vale 30,000 Dolares de Zimbabwe.

LOS BOICOTS DEPORTIVO

Los boicots deportivos no sirven. Lo unico perdedores son los deportistas. Un ejemplo fue las Olimpiadas de Moscu en 1980. Cuando Carter inicio el boicot, muchos residentes en Ohio cruzaron la frontera con Canada para comprar recuerdos de las Olimpiadas de Moscu. Incluso, otros viajaron a Moscu desafiando a Carter y Carter no lo pudo arrestar porque eran muchos. Este humilde servidor escribio a su familia en Cuba, Radio Polonia, Radio Praga, y Radio Bucarest para obtener sellos de Moscu 80.

Barack Obama Calls For Segregation

Worcester, Mass, April 7: Libertarian Presidential candidate George Phillies today blasted Senator Barack Obama for endorsing segregation based on sexual orientation in a recent campaign missive to LGBTQ voters from the Obama campaign.

From: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/alexokrent/gGggJS :

Obama: I personally believe that civil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment.

"It's particularly disappointing, though not surprising, that the Democratic front-runner would embrace separate and unequal' while providing an Orwellian discourse on 'equality,'" said Dr. Phillies.
"Obama provides a laundry list of other things he promises he'll try, maybe possibly, if he can get around to it, to get done as president:

Obama: Unlike Senator Clinton, I support the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) a position I have held since before arriving in the U.S. Senate. While some say we should repeal only part of the law, I believe we should get rid of that statute altogether.
"So has the Senator introduced legislation to do this in the Senate now? Not as of this writing.

Obama: I have also called for us to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell...
"Has the Senator supported companion legislation in the Senate for the already-House-introduced MREA that would end the anti-gay policy? Nope.
Obama: I have worked to improve the Uniting American Families Act so we can afford same-sex couples the same rights and obligations as married couples in our immigration system.

"Actually, Obama has done nothing other than declare he opposes UAFA because it will 'facilitate immigration fraud.' That's quite a hilarious contention -- that a few hundred people would slip through the system under UAFA -- when thousands get marriages of convenience under the existing marriage system.

"Once again, Barack Obama is demanding a separate, more difficult arrangement for same-gender couples than for heterosexual ones. And he's done nothing legislatively or otherwise related to UAFA other than refuse to cosponsor the bill.

Obama: I will never compromise on my commitment to equal rights for all LGBT Americans. But neither will I close my ears to the voices of those who still need to be convinced.

"In other words, Obama will send a couple of open letters to gay people when he wants their votes, but will insist that anti-gay discrimination is a legitimate 'alternative choice' that deserves equal consideration.

"Imagine if a presidential candidate had made similar commitments to 'not close his ears' to the voices of KKK supporters in the 1960s vis-a-vis equal rights for black Americans.

"Sorry, Senator, but you're all talk. An empty suit. You've done nothing for LGBTQ people in your short Senate career, and your laughable 'open letter' to gay people underscores the futility of supporting your campaign for gay people who want real equality.

"Gay people want a candidate who will always stand up for equality under the law and the 14th Amendment, regardless of the opinions of 'those who still need to be convinced.' We want equal treatment under the law -- not separate and unequal 'compromises.' And we want politicians who back their commitments with legislation, not pleas for support after years of failure and inaction.

"In short, gay people want a president who would do what a Libertarian president will do.

According to the IHT [International Herald Tribune], Barry Bearak of the New York Times was released on bail but to a hospital after sustaining falls in the floor of his prison cell. This was according to a declaration by his lawyer Harrison Nkomo. Dileepan Sivapathasundaram of the National Democracy Institute [and a US Citizen] has been released to US Diplomatic Custody although he has to report to the police on a daily basis. It has been agreed that Mugabe is not going to go soon but if the news were to completely vanish from the front pages, Mugabe and company may get away with murder and the country may implode.

As already mentioned in a separate article, even the opposition inside South Africa has criticized South African President Mbeki for being "naive or distorting on purpose the reality in Zimbabwe"
