	Wednesday’s Suriname Election: No Small Matter - Council on Hemispheric Affairs

	The Head Heeb: August 2003 Archives
		The local elections taking place this weekend in Zimbabwe will be a test of strength for both parties, with the MDC hoping to pick up seats on the rural district councils and ZANU trying to erode the opposition's strength in the cities.
		Even the leading Rwandan opposition figure, Faustin Twagiramungu, doesn't think he should be president; in his challenge to the election results, he argued that he would have received "at least 32 to 40% of the vote" if the poll had been fair.
		The trouble is that the by-elections occurred during a parliamentary recess, and the government couldn't be deposed without a vote of no confidence.

		Invoking the idiotic thesis by some post-German that "a nation's defeat may trigger its democratic rebirth," she argues that the NATO bombing and the October coup were a way of liberating and emancipating the Serbs from themselves.
		essay by Slobodan Antonic, published in February 2003, supposedly criticizing Serbia's "missionary intelligence" — that is, Kostovicova's "true democrats." Only trouble is, while Antonic is criticizing the "missionaries" for excessive zeal, he actually shares their values: devotion to State, hatred of society and nation as backward and barbaric, a commitment to social engineering.
