[Please forward along to fight-censorship if non-redundant] I applaud your quick response. However, you should read more and consult people with area expertise. At least do the five-minute AltaVista and DejaNews search I did; don't just trust the information that gets sent to you, or you're likely to be used. I think you're at least 95% right here, but it is worth noting that The Post has ties to the former dictator of Zambia, who was replaced by the more or less democratically elected Chiluba whose ouster you so precipitously are demanding. First impressions and fast action are often necessary, but it's not responsible to stop there. Life & death politics isn't a toy. Chiluba is no saint, but he's no two-bit dictator, either. I'd probably rate him a notch or two below Aristide, no worse. He's certainly no Castro, Kim, or Idi Amin.Chiluba is pretty good by Sub-Saharan African standards (which, unfortunately, isn't saying much). For informed opinion, you should start with the Association of Concerned African Scholars: http://www.prairienet.org/acas/ You might want to add Amnesty International's 1995 report on Sub-Saharan Africa, which has some background on Zambia and Chiluba: http://www.amnesty.org/Africa95/360195.AFR.txt For those who read Swedish, this appears to be a more specific Amnesty report: http://www.everyday.se/amnesty/zambia2.html See Chiluba's comments on Nigerian human rights violations: http://www.prairienet.org/acas/chiluba.html Official statements of the Zambian government: http://www.zamnet.zm/zamnet/grz/govstate.html Two trivial stylistic whines: HTML bug: You need to prepend mailto: to the link to fstuart@vetmed.auburn.edu Graphical excess: And as I'm sure you're aware, the lead graphic is a bit large for most browsers.
