Is the US Getting Serious About Mugabe?

The Bush administration today put dictator Robert Mugabe on notice that he will be watched:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Wednesday froze the U.S. assets of 26 Zimbabwean entities it said are controlled by key members of President Robert Mugabe's government, accusing them of undercutting democracy in Zimbabwe.

Under an executive order issued by President Bush the Treasury Department' "designated" 24 commercial farms and two businesses controlled by Mugabe administration officials who the U.S. government says are undermining democratic processes in Zimbabwe. The move freezes their access to the U.S. financial system and prohibits U.S. citizens from doing business with them.

Good news. Mugabe has been destroying the country from within through racist policies and oppression. Now pay more attention to the Sudan.
