When Marxism causes famine in Africa, Tony Blair calls it a "natural disaster."***He said: "The situation in Zimbabwe is a complex food crisis: a combination of two years of poor rain, a very challenging political and economic environment, compounded by a catastrophic HIV/Aids crisis. Much of the urban and rural population are living off one meal a day. If food doesn't come in, in a very sizeable quantity, that will be going down to no meals at all." Tony Blair pledged British backing for the international effort last night. The Prime Ministersaid: "It is a genuine tragedy this natural disaster has been visited upon the people of southern Africa. The consequences are potentially very serious and we have ordered action at every level we can."***
