So it's come to this. Even Archbishop Desmond Tutu is urging drastic action to save Zimbabwe from dictator Robert Mugabe. From Opinion Journal: "In the land of cholera – Africans finally turn against Comrade Bob."
The situation has become so dire that Mr. Tutu, the Nobel Peace laureate and former Anglican archbishop of Cape Town, told a Dutch TV station Thursday that African leaders cannot stand by any longer. "If they say to [Mugabe], step down, and he refuses, they must go in . . . militarily," Mr. Tutu said.Given the lengths – and depths – that Robert Mugabe has gone to hold on to power, it's hard to believe he'll go down without a fight that will lead to more bloodshed. Bishop Tutu's position illustrates how desperate things have gotten in southern Africa.

Although I did not support Obama, I would be happy if he came out and demanded that Mugabe go into exile or we would send him there. The Bush-haters would all of a sudden be all for desposing a dictator and the guys like me would support it as well. Obama can use the "in the tank" media for good for once.
Oh, hush, you delusional goofus.
