Archbishop Tutu got it right!

Archbishop Tutu got it right in calling for Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe to step down and for Africa's leadership to force him one way or the other out of power. They won't. Instead they're going to be guided by the age old recourse to tersigervation [sic]...hemming and hawing and trying to reason with a man who is outside of reason. No he's not mad in the clinical sense, but he's mad in wanting to hold on to power and to punish his people for giving the opposition a vote which put Herr Mugabe out of office. Even the sainted Nelson Mandela took his good time to condemn Mugabe, and of course Tabi Mbeki has proven a pussy in dealing with Mugabe. So in Cairo at a meeting of Africa's heads of state, leaders of the continents some 54 countries will try to 'dialogue' with this bull elephant wounded by his own people at the polls a few months ago. It won't do them a shred of good; on the other hand, bold action will be a signal to their own people that a groundswell of protest can topple hated, corrupt regimes, and that's the last thing these leaders want, namely, to be thrown out of post which fills deep pockets of theirs whilst their people languish in poverty, disease, more likely than not AIDS, and the country's wealth find its way into coded bank accounts in Switzerland. So, they will muddle through a meeting which will end in doing very little if anything in dealing with mad dog Mugabe!
