With a US Presidential Election weeks away, there has been no mention of the atrocities that occurred during Zimbabwe's June election. We have taken for granted the precious right democracy affords its voters, but also need to make our current leaders and potential leaders accountable to recognize the necessity for intervention and making the situation in Zimbabwe a warning of just how fragile democracy is.
Additionally, the ties Obama had to the Reverend Wright and the blasting Wright had toward "White America" makes it that much more crucial that Obama doesn't stay "blind" and "silent" to Mugabe's irrational behavior. Has the Reverend Wright spoken as passionately about Zimbabwe as he has about America's racial injustices?
