I've been obsessing over the fate of Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe this past week. For a little while I thought the transition would be relatively peaceful but that assessment seems overly optimistic now.
Mugabe is a small part of the overall problem but it's helpful to have someone with a memorable face to graphically pillory. Classic "tyrant" stuff. And those glasses! Is Libya's Gaddafi his fashion consultant?
I shouldn't joke. Mugabe is a dangerous and deluded predator.
