#1 Part of the excuse given for Mbeki's refusal to condemn Mugabe was that he was afraid that detabilization would lead to a flood of refugees into S.Africa. Now that it's happening, I wonder what tune he'll be singing now?

#2 I hate to say it but the US should step in... I'm not saying militarily but we should tell Mugabe he's got to go, similar to what we did with Taylor. I'm sure the surrounding African nations will help provide pressure due to the refugee situation developing and if he won't go we might have to take the scum bag out. If this problem gets much worse we'll be forced to come in later when it's far more difficult to solve.
