This piece of lunacy passed me by until I saw it on Tim Worstall's blog:
Zimbabwe may gain the vice-presidency of the World Food Programme (WFP) — despite the collapse of its own agricultural sector.All seven African countries presently on the WFP's 36-strong executive board are believed to support the bid of Robert Mugabe's regime.
If successful, Zimbabwe will be in line to become the president of the world's largest supplier of humanitarian aid next year.
Not that anyone should be surprised. There's a long tradition of such things...such as putting Libya in the chair of the UN Human Rights Commission (alongside such luminaries as Syria).

No doubt the gentile bastards and their little Jewish helpers ("Please don't take us to the gas chambers, we hate the Jews too") at Britain's answer to Der Stürmer, the Guardian, will be far too busy in their daily task of attempting to deligitimise Israel and pit Jew against Jew to bother with such unimportant stuff.
