NO. WRONG.
Wrong how? WikiLeaks leaked private communications between a force for reform in Zimbabwe and western nations. Those communications may have irreparably damaged efforts at reform by giving Mugabe and his thugs material to discredit reformers.
It seems blatantly obvious that the actions of wikileaks are to blame here. Yes, I understand, you want to believe wikileaks is pure as the driven snow and immune from all blame. But guess what? This is a *perfect* example of how *some* politics *does* need to go on behind closed doors, and that *some* amount of secrecy is, in fact, necessary.
it's a shame that no-one criticising wikileaks realises that mugabe is an insane criminal and murderer who will take advantage of *anything*.
I'm sure they're quite aware of that. But how does that excuse wikileaks from handing a gun and some ammunition to said insane criminal?
Seriously, you apologists baffle me. Why can't you just admit that wikileaks, to put it succinctly, fucked up?
it takes wikileaks reporting to expose mugabe by "triggering" him to act out his true (insane) nature, for the world to observe how inappropriate a leader he really is.
Oh, yes yes, no one realized that before... jackass.
This isn't about the world and what they think of Mugabe. This is about Mugabe's actions as a dictator within his nation. The man can now, quite legitimately, demonstrate that those people fighting for reform in Zimbabwe were, in fact, *supportive* of sanctions that have hurt the Zimbabwean people. Are those sanctions ultimately necessary? Sadly, yes. But now those reformers look like tools of the west, and Mugabe can use that to attack the voices of reform as traitors. That helps no one but Mugabe.
In short, you're a naive, apologist twat. Grow up. The world is a lot more complex than it might appear from your mom's basement.
