Mugabe may call for Bush to be tried for violations but these two cases are very distinct from each other.
Bush’s people are not afraid to speak out and there are no militias beating people and the country feeds itself and feeds
His people live in fear and his party kills opponents. His people are always being killed, disappearing, imprisoned or tortured. Women are always raped by the militias. Bush does not beat his people to vote for him, he has no operation “Mavhotera Whatever”. Neither does he use rape as a weapon. He also has no food or currency shortages, not to mention sanitary wear for women.
Both men are similar in that they love to export war. Bush took the war to
Disagreeing with either man renders one unpatriotic and a threat to national security, although in Bush’s country you may live to argue about it.
For Mugabe to compare Bush to himself (I hear it all the time) is not too far from the truth but there are major differences as well. Bush will be gone in 40 days, when is Mugabe going? Even he doesn’t know! Even those who tried to give him a red card don’t know! Mbeki is gone and so is everyone around him except Dos Santos.
Mugabe is no Bush and Bush cannot be Mugabe. Thing is though, the Americans may not be so willing to hand over Bush, but is the vast majority of Zimbabweans willing to protect Mugabe?
