Oh, that makes sense then -- even aside from the traditional buddying up to dictators all U.S. Presidents did during the Cold War -- that was an infinitely more credible view of Mugabe 30 years ago (back when he was still a "revolutionary leader" and Zimbabwe was mostly democratic and had hope) than it would be today.
