   These catoons are really funny! If I could draw I would depict Morgan as a cheetah running after its prey Mugabe. Because Mugabe is really now the prey. He is now the loser. When he sat litening to the Zambian foreign minister lambaste him at the SADC summit for his disregard for any democratic principles, he had his eyes shut and his teeth clamped shut. He was seething with animosity and anger.

   Now that Mbeki has announced that the talks are to continue under the SADC troika until a deal is reached, you can be sure that Morgan will not sign anything which would be repudiated by the international community. After all, it is they who will pick up the tab for Mugabe’s delinquency. That is why he, Mugabe is now they prey. It is a question of concede, or be damned.

   @ True Grit: That’s very optimistic of you. History shows that countries on our continent rarely sort themselves out in this manner. In fact, SA is the only one I can think of. Usually it the story we have in the west: The locals butcher each other, supplied and encouraged by international commerce while international officialdom berates them for doing so.

   An interesting and spoilt political acrobat this robert mugabe is. he has been allowed to mess with the democratic process since his inauguration as executive president.

   For exactly this type of political impasse.

   He lost the only democratic elections in March, let’s face it. And what is being done with him by the international world and even the MDC is, frankly, appeasing a spoilt geriatric bully.

   mugabe should have been on the run with Tsvangirai chasing him a long time ago.

   Unfortunately even Mbeki and the rest of Afica treat robert as what he wishes to be, a little mambo with his mambo jumbo democracy.

   Remember papa and baby doc Duvallier of Haiti and what Haiti is today. A country once promising but now almost unknown. Destroyed by a culture of tyranny by a few greedy individuals.
