Zimbabwe

The elections in Zimbabwe came to an all-too-predictable end today.  There are few things I can think of that I feel more conflicted over than our obligations when such failures take place. The UK appears to be moving quickly into the realm of sanctions and I don’t have any real sense of where the United States is on what has happened, aside from being repeatedly appalled.  I’d like to think that early global, and particularly African reaction to the end of the runoff elections signals that Mugabe has finally gone “A bridge too far,” but I suspect he will hold on in Zimbabwe regardless of what is thrown at him… and then who knows what happens.
