  How indeed do we call this one? The usual suspects blasted the elections as rigged. Their horse came out in front and now the polls were regular. The African observors who said they saw nothing wrong during the polling were called Mugabe supporters. Now the same Africans are blasted for not calling the same elections free and fair now. No wonder my country is in such a mess.

  If the opposition won the majority vote, why do the need a "run-off?" It is time for the evil Mugabe to go - and go now. After that he should be arressted and brought before the Internation Courts, just like Saddam Hussein was, for his crimes against humanity.

  If Mugabe had even an ounce of decency in his body, he would resign and give his country the opportunity to start to re-build after the disaster that has been his recent tenure in Zimbabwe. Unfortunately he hasn't - he is a crazy old man determined to cling on to his position at any cost. One does wonder what the remaining attraction is to be the top man in charge of a country that you've personally ruined and the vast majority of whose people would be dancing for joy if you died, but I suppose he feels he has no alternative but to finish the job. Yes, his legacy in the history books will be that he took one of the most prosperous countries in Africa, at a time when prices for its main exports were starting to rise, and single-handedly turned it into an economic basket case, even by modern African standards. He will be regarded FOREVER not as a hero of the independence movement - as he wishes to be - but as someone who inflicted far, far more suffering and impoverishment on his own country than any colonial power ever did
