| Democratic Apocalypse - Zimbabwe |
 |
May 2008
With the second round of voting set for 27th
June, anyone known to support the MDC or to
have voted against Robert Mugabe is in real
physical danger.
Violence towards opponents of the ruling Zanu
PF government increases every day. Hundreds
were beaten while "an estimated 31 people
were killed...and tens of thousands
intimidated and forced from their homes."
Many now seek sanctuary in the MDC's
headquarters in Harare; but for the
staunchest opponents of the regime there is
no safe haven. With their few possessions
they flee to neighbouring countries and wait
for the violence to end.

transcript:

itics/main3762263.shtml
"I'm Kathleen Sebelius, Governor of the State
of Kansas.
And I am grateful for the opportunity to
speak with you tonight.
I'm a Democrat, but tonight, it really
doesn't matter whether you think of yourself
as a Democrat or a Republican or an
Independent. Or none of the above.
Instead, the fact you're tuning in this
evening tells me each of you is, above all,
an American, first.
You are mothers, and fathers. Grandparents
and grandchildren. Working people and
business-owners. Americans, all.
And the American people - folks like you and
me - are not nearly as divided as our
rancorous politics might suggest. [...]
We are Americans sharing a belief in
something greater than ourselves, a nation
coming together to meet challenges and find
solutions; to share sacrifices and share
prosperity; and focus, once again, not only
on the individual good but on the common
good.
On behalf of the new American majority - the
majority of elected officials at the
national, state and local level, and the
majority of Americans - we ask you, Mr.
President, to join us. We are ready to work
together, to be the America we have been -
and can be once again.
Thank you for listening. God bless and sleep
well. And in the morning, let's get to work."
