Wow!Is this the Director of TV and Radio in the

Mr. Saidy all of us here can read about Mugabe from
CNN.COM. Unfortunately we do NOT have GRST.COM, so
save

questions all of us list members been waiting for you
to comment on . Better yet,how about an update about
the student massacre. Who cares about Mugabe at this
present condition. Another one of your deviation
methods perhaps. How about "Mandela on Jemus".
