The contrast on this and a whole litany of other issues between Thabo Mbeki and his predecessor Nelson Mandela could not be more stark. South Africa deserves much much better.

OK, I've been using my little cheap rice cooker. It cooks oriental, like jasmine rice great but American rice turns out all gummy cooking in it. I'll cook the cajun stuff that's grown here in Louisiana the old way.

As far as Mugabe? Nothing that one lil'ol' cruise missile couldn't eliminate and this case, I wouldn't care.

Well, the West should write off Zimbabwe, since we are powerless to help the opposition and promote democracy there. Zimbabwe is China's partner now and the Chinese have no interest in promoting democracy, only trade.
BBC: No-one knows how much worse the economic collapse will be after Mr Mugabe wins the vote on Friday. The economy seems to be in complete freefall now.
But as long as he can blame it on Western sanctions, even though they are few and mostly aimed at leading members of Zanu-PF, he will remain unscathed.
Western powers will be openly angry about the eclipse of Morgan Tsvangirai and the sweeping victory of Robert Mugabe on Friday. Many African governments will be just as angry, but will be more discreet about it.

Mugabe, the best argument for Rhodesia.
BBC: No-one knows how much worse the economic collapse will be after Mr Mugabe wins the vote on Friday. The economy seems to be in complete freefall now.
But as long as he can blame it on Western sanctions, even though they are few and mostly aimed at leading members of Zanu-PF, he will remain unscathed.
Western powers will be openly angry about the eclipse of Morgan Tsvangirai and the sweeping victory of Robert Mugabe on Friday. Many African governments will be just as angry, but will be more discreet about it.
Some, China in particular, will continue to help Mr Mugabe quietly and give him what diplomatic protection they can.
