I laughed long and hard at this. Apparently we, the Western world, are trying to bring down Mugabe by starving him out in a kind of modern-day siege attempt. Bollocks we are. All that Britain has done is refuse to trade with and send aid to Zimbabwe until a corrupt and illegal regime is brought down, and has encouraged others to do the same. That this may or may not precipitate a revolution within Zimbabwe is a side effect, but there is no proof of any kind that it may be deliberate. All it does it put the onus on Mugabe to find a solution and save his country, even if that means stepping down and letting someone competent who actually cares about keeping the population alive take over.

Actually, I'm also surprised that it was us that are the first to do so. Pleasantly surprised, but still. I wouldn't have thought Gordon Brown had the stones for a stunt like this. The one and only time I have said it: good for him.

OLD SIG
When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.
Razgriz intrerpretation

Sieben Elefanten hatte Herr Dschin
Und da war dann noch der achte.
Sieben waren wild und der achte war zahm
Und der achte war's, der sie bewachte.

On the other hand, how hard'd it be to kill him? Just hire someone to shoot him, and there'd be no point of evidence towards to US or anything. After all, most of the world wants him dead. Because on moral grounds, he surely deserves to die.
Just my thoughts.

Your making him sound like a mix of Hitler and Stalin.To think that Mugabe originally started as a people's politician. He eventually went nuts with power and got very paranoid, thinking that everyone was out to kill him (which, in the cases of many African leaders, including himself, was true [not literally speaking, just the stereotypical bad guys in each country <the militias resembling al-Qaeda in many things save ideology>]). How he solved it, on the other hand, was much less admirable than his intentions. One word........ Genocide.

Then again, I actually agree with CIL on this one, I think Mugabe is one of the most despicable men on the face of the planet. Of course, I am not familiar with the dregs of society across the world, but as a public figure, he needs to be stopped, removed and disposed of. He is simply a glorified pest, and we need a gigantic can of pesticide to spray him with. Or drop on his head, which may work a bit better....

True, assassinating him is not the solution. It most likely would result in something even worse than Mugabe. But there's always a chance, isn't there? If Mugabe dies anyway, which is extremely likely, given that he's currently 84 years old, would Tsvangirai step into the breach, or would the military seize control and demand to put their generals in command?

But I read in the Daily Telegraph today that Tsvangarai and Mugabe have some kind of alliance now, and Mugabe wants himself to become President of some "national initiative" and have Tsvangarai and his "friends", as Mugabe put it, in the cabinet. It won't work.
