In keeping with his overall strategy, I think he was consistent in 
praising Mugabe-- hoping to succeed as he did rarely with national 
governments to get them to adopt TM within the government (I think 
this only worked with Costa Rica and...was it Mozambique?). He 
certainly wouldn't have gotten very far just outright condemning them, 
so he tried flattery instead.
