The heckling started when Powell criticized Zimbabwe for pursuing land reform policies that have exacerbated the food crisis there and pushed "millions of people to the brink of starvation." The comments brought some cheers from the audience as well. He also criticized Zambia, which is also facing widespread hunger, for rejecting genetically engineered corn that Americans eat every day. So they heckled Powell for criticizing Robert Mugabe? What does that say about their values? Go ahead and starve millions of people, just so long as you never give in to GM corn! Got to get your priorities straight! There are too many people on the planet as it is, it's practically a public service. The Greens have gone stark raving mad.
