Seems imprudent

...to call the people cowards who have the proximity and capabilty to bring force to bear.

"How could African leaders ever topple Robert Mugabe, organize an army to come?" Mugabe, who has led the country for 28 years, is quoted as asking. "It is not easy. I do not know of any African country that is brave enough to do that."

Having seen how good several local fighting forces *can* be, and how pathetic the force the ZANU-PF puts in the field, it seems to this author that it would be unwise to underestimate what one motivated leader could do (well-supplied logistically).

The only need, frankly, is to get the weak-kneed and enabling "friends of Mugabe" in the AU to get the hell out of the way and let the competent leaders put an end to this travesty of so-called governance.
