#1 Doh! A quick peaceful solution - why didn't *we* think of that?

#2 Ban told reporters he is consulting with leaders from the African Union and the Southern African Development Community on how the organizations can work together and help the Zimbabwean situation "reach a very harmonious and credible" solution.

Something akin to consulting with the city council of Las Vegas concerning the dangers of gambling. Double yawn and head nod.

#5 I'm of two minds. On the one hand, I'd like to see a swift, violent solution featuring their neighbors invading and hanging Mugabe. On the other hand, I'm not confident of their neighbors' armies being disciplined enough to not make the trip worth their while, and let any intervention turn into another orgy of resource looting, like the Congolese intervention last decade.
