You are being used for propaganda services. First, hyperinflation in Zimbabwe is a direct result of US sanctions, such as the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001 (S.494), which bans the Zimbabwean goverment from borrowing money internationally, including from anyone who has anything to do with the IMF, African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, etc. Then, the 'cleaning up' of slums and marketeers is nothing new to Africa, China or the world, and I wish it had been condemned when it happens in Zambia, not just used as a political tool against Zimbabwe. Then, there has been no confirmation of anything the MDC has claimed, from the 'death of at least 70 MDC activists'. There is a regime change operation ongoing against Zimbabwe.

" “People have died, lost their livelihoods, their possessions, their homes and everything they have worked hard for almost all their lives because Mugabe cannot accept defeat.” "

Yes, if only the MDC was in power, then they could lose their jobs as well, because they are neoliberals who will sell Zimbabwe's natural resources and parastatals to the lowest bidder. That is why the Bush administration is supporting them.

President Mugabe committed the sin of turning back apartheid style land ownership and democratizing land ownership in Zimbabwe (he redistributed land to over 234,000 farmers, from the original 4,000 farmers), and saying no to the IMF's ESAP (Economic Structural Adjustment Program), when he saw it's destructive effect on the economy. Ever since, he has had to be made an example of. However, the tough old freedom fighter has never given up without a fight. Compared to him, Morgan Tsvangirai is a non-entity, uneducated and easily manipulated, which is why he was chosen to head the MDC.

There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and there is no need for 'regime change' in Zimbabwe. Be very wary of the propaganda against Zimbabwe, just as wary as you should have been about the propaganda against Iraq.
