In an open letter to Barack Obama erroneously titled an Open Letter to the People of Zimbabwe, primarily members and close circles of the Workers World Party and some Black Democrats, too, have signed onto a letter that correctly spells out what economic sanctions promoted by Washington and London have actually done... 'These cruel sanctions for almost a decade have caused massive unemployment, malnourishment, hyperinflation, deeper poverty, lack of health care and fuel, the deterioration of the infrastructure and much more. A recent cholera epidemic that has claimed the lives of thousands could have been prevented if water purification chemicals had not been banned under the sanctions.' They go on to spell out that they are in fact war crimes and a form of slow genocide against the Zimbabwean Black population. Right on! However there is more to this petition than just meets the eye, and Glen Ford takes a look at that in his own challenge to the very signers of 'The Open Letter' mentioned above. A Challenge to ‘Radical' and ‘Pan-Africanist' Obamites who signed 'The Open Letter'. In it he discusses the character flaws of one section of the 'Peace'crats, the Black Community ones. We here in Colorado Springs see these exact same flaws in the local White Community 'Peace'crat people. Check out Glen Ford's commentary and see just exactly what I mean?
