President Evaluates Zimbabwe

President Bush: “You can't have free elections if a candidate is not allowed to campaign freely and his supporters aren't allowed to campaign without fear of intimidation. Yet, the Mugabe government has been intimidating people on the ground in Zimbabwe. And this is an incredibly sad development. Friday's elections appear to be a sham. The people there want to express themselves at the ballot box, yet the Mugabe government has refused to allow them to do so. This is not just and it is wrong.”
