Mixed Messages

Tomorrow is an especially exciting today because the Centre for Foreign Policy Studies is hosting a talk by the South African Ambassador to Canada.  He will discuss South Africa as a rising power.  By rising power he means: in arms dealings.  So essentially, South Africa is the next China.  With a far higher mortality rate than most countries.  So what he means is this: South Africa's richest men are getting richer and dealing more arms and ignoring the AIDS rate.  What I expect he means is that South Africa is going the way of Mugabe. What I expect him to say is that South Africa is guilty of nothing but greatness.

Can't wait for this seminar!
