His next post will be about the Gold Coast

Why, exactly, does New Republic supremo Marty Peretz choose to refer to Zimbabwe by the name it had under colonial and then illegal white minority independent rule?

There has been a very scrupulous [sanctions] regime in place against Rhodesia for five years, one that is directed against the political elites and not the general population.

UPDATE: He changed the sentence without any acknowledgment of what was there before. Nice blogger ethics Marty!
