SelectPlusMugabe Sworn in After 'sham' ElectionMugabe Sworn in After 'sham' ElectionThe Associated PressZimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe was sworn in for a sixth term Sunday, just hours after government officials said he overwhelmingly won a runoff that has been widely discredited. (June 30)[Notes:zimbabwe results 2](SOT)AND I THEREFORE DECLARE THE SAID MUGABE, ROBERT GABRIEL, THIS 29TH DAY OF JUNE 2-0-0-8 TO BE THE DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZIMBABWE."With no drama, Robert Mugabe was declared the winner of Saturday's run-off election in the presidential race. The result was quickly condemned by Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. [Notes:CHINA RICE 2]CONDOLEEZZA RICE, US SECRETARY OF STATE: WE BELIEVE THAT THE SITUATION HAS DETERIORATED TO A VERY GRAVE LEVEL, THAT THE SHAM ELECTION THERE IS LIKELY ONLY TO BRING MORE MISERY AND PERHAPS VIOLENCE. AND WE BELIEVE THAT IT'S REALLY NOW TIME FOR THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO ACT STRONGLY, BUT WE ARE CONSULTING ABOUT WHAT MEASURES MIGHT BE TAKEN. [Notes:SWEARING IN] (NATS OF SWEARING IN)Within hours, Mugabe was sworn in for his sixth term as head of the African nation. [Notes:ZIMBABWE TSVANGIRAI](SOT: MORGAN TSVANGIRAI/OPPOSITION LEADER)THE INAUGURATION IS A MEANINGLESS EXERCISE.Opposition leader Morgan (SVAHNG'-ur-eye) Tsvangirai won the most votes in the first round of presidential voting in March, but not enough for an outright victory. He withdrew from the runoff election and left the country over fears of violence. [Notes:ZIMBABWE MUGABE]Author Heidi Holland wrote a book about Mugabe based on a two-and-a-half hour meeting with him. It provides insight into his mindset.(SOT: HEIDI HOLLAND/JOURNALIST AND AUTHOR OF THE BOOK "DINNER WITH MUGABE")I DON'T THINK HE IS CLINICALLY MAD. I MEAN THERE COMES A POINT WHERE YOU ARE SO OUT OF TOUCH OR DELUDED THAT YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE MAD, BUT I THINK HE LIVES IN THE WORLD IN A MAD KIND OF WAY. African leaders have been pushing for a power sharing agreement between Mugabe and Tsvangirai. Since the first round of elections, shortages of basic goods have worsened. Public services have come to virtual standstill. Independent surveys put the country's inflation rate at four-million percent. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

Robert Mugabe once was hailed as a symbol of the new Africa, but under his rule the health and well-being of his people have dropped dramatically, which is as much an abuse of human rights as arbitrary arrest and torture. According to the World Health Organization, Zimbabwe has the world's shortest life expectancy—37 years for men and 34 for women. It also has the greatest percentage of orphans (about 25%, says UNICEF) and the worst annual inflation rate (1,281%

Mugabe is up against something, that must be first understood! Listening to him he doesn't come outright as irrational, there must be something that drives him crazy! How different is he from the Iranian President on his position of arguments?
