Zimbabwe Hypocrisy
Re “Skepticism Greets Zimbabwe Vote, but Little Violence Seen,” April 1: Numerous countries are crying foul regarding the recent election in Zimbabwe.
For an ex-Zimbabwean such as me, this is rather amusing when you consider that most, if not all, of these countries were either directly or indirectly responsible for bringing President Robert Mugabe to power and for keeping him there.
How quickly our politicians conveniently forget the very history that they themselves have created. Selective amnesia and hypocrisy are synonymous.
