#1 Nick Kristoff is an idiot.

Tell Mugabe that if he doesn't step down the other African nations will sic the International Criminal Court on him? How rich. Bring back Carla del Ponte to run the prosecution and Mugabe could live to be 100 and never spend a day in court. And in the meantime the ICC could send in the mighty Uruguayans to run the place.

Kristoff recognizes that Mugabe is evil, though he can't say it, and he can't do anything other than some liberal hand-wringing.

If you want Mugabe gone you have to deal with the jokers who will take his place: the Zimbob military. They're well-entrenched and already pretty much run the country today, using Bob as their point man. They've got the guns and they're not going to retire to villas in South Africa.

The Zimbabwean people will have to rise up en masse to solve this problem. That means civil war and a lot of deaths. But there's no other way to get Bob and the military out of power.

#2 very true, Dr Steve, but his point that Mugabe is supported by other Africans because he isn't white is also true. I hope Bob and Grace die slowly and painfully, but the military thugs supporting him are just as bad. Looks like an outside force will have to train and arm a coup force

#3 When the white ~~supremacist~~ ~~regime~~ democratic government of Ian Smith fought the communists ~~oppressed Zimbabweans~~ in the 1970s, African countries, Russia, Communinst China, and Cuba rallied against it.

There, rewritten history corrected.
