Notes from a small island
A weblog by Jonathan Ali


Friday, March 28, 2003  

"Robert Mugabe is now widely execrated, and rightly, but blame for him began late. Nothing is more astonishing than the silence about him for so many years among liberals and well-wishers - the politically correct. What crimes have been committed in the name of political correctness. A man may get away with murder, if he is black. Mugabe did, for many years."

- Doris Lessing, in the New York Review of Books. Not only can a man get away with murder if he is black, but also, if his country doesn't have oil.
