Democracy Promotion DoublespeakDuring his recent African tour, President George W. Bush called for Zimbabwe's presidential and legislative elections to be "free and fair." A transparent and open poll "happens to be in the interest of the world," he declared. On face value, this claim appears quite reasonable. What is just for a large number of people and is bad only for a tyrannical ruling elite is always "good for the world." Observers and officials inside Zimbabwe and abroad agreed that the country's 2002 election was riddled with fraud, inaccuracies, and widespread disenfranchisement. | |
