Zimbabwe's Mugabe: Worst of the worst in the world order

Zimbabwe claims still another record: the world's highest rate of population growth. High birth rates are usually found in countries that suffer unusually high child mortality, like Zimbabwe.The shame of it is that, properly managed, Zimbabwe should be prosperous. It's home to magnificent wild life and Victoria Falls -- magnets for tourism

I would NOT read any opinion piece from an American journalist  :: ::

But the State Department reports that Mugabe has allowed every manner of infrastructure -- roads, trains, water systems, telephone and electric service -- to fall into near-dysfunctional disrepair. So no one visits.

Among the deteriorating public services is health care. Typhoid is ravaging the country, almost like a plague. The cause, according to the U.N.: fecal matter in the dilapidated water system. Three years ago a cholera epidemic infected 100,000 people, killing 4,000 of them.

The state also is home to rich diamond mines, but Mugabe nationalized them and seems to be stealing all the money. Photos of his mansion show overwrought, gold-crusted baroque splendor beyond imagining.
