Revolution in Zimbabwe?

Just hours to go before my interview . . . I've said a few prayers to calm myself down and trust in God that I will find the right things to say.

It seems that Zimbabwe, thanks to Mugabe, is in dire straits:

Last week Zimbabwe's annual inflation rate, measured through the consumer price index (CPI), jumped to 913.6 percent for the year to March from 782 percent in February.

Experts expect the rate to soar way over 1,000 percent by mid-year and Zimbabwe also faces shortages of fuel, food and foreign currency and breaking sewerage systems, power and water cuts, uncollected domestic garbage and deteriorating roads.

Yes, there may be poverty here in the United States, but we're so much better off than the poor folks in Zimbabwe. The sooner Mugabe goes, the better. It's truly amazing how the country has gone from being the breadbasket of Africa before this murderous thug started this decline by kicking out the white farmers and giving land to his supporters, who knew nothing about farming.

It's even more sad that folks such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton aren't speaking out about this. Not that I would consider them stellar spokesmen for their community (no, I don't hold them up as good examples - I listen more to people like Bill Cosby).
