I was afraid you were going to say that.  That is kind of what I 
thought, but I wasn't sure.  I sometimes talk with this kid-she's about 
19 or so-never met her-who has spent some time in Zimbabwe.  Her family 
is somehow friends with Arthur Mutambara, one of Mugabe's rivals, and 
she has met him and Morgan Tsvangiari, staying in the home of Mutambara 
both in Zimbabwe and in South Africa.  She doesn't understand all the 
politics of the conflict and neither do I, so I ask here.  But, she 
thinks Mugabe is simply evil and at one point mentioned that we(the US) 
supported Mugabe after he overthrew a dictator who was worse.
I haven't talked to Amie in 6 months or so, so I might write her a note 
tonight, now that I am thinking about this stuff.
Thanks James.
