Mugabe: How Much Longer In Power?

There is an interesting distinction between corruption at low and high levels of power.
For example, a local cop might take a small cash "fine" to overlook a specific crime. Or, a polititian could require a large "campaign contribution" to award a juicy contract to a certain company (AWB, Halliburton, etc.).
Somehow, white collar corruption seems more respectable. It's probably much more profitable.
