End nigh for Mugabe?

story here.  this would be a welcome relief; I think we'll only learn with time the extent of the havoc the demagogue wreaked on his country.

here is an only slightly provocative question: would Zimbabwe be better off if the transition to majority rule had been negotiated rather than armed struggle? the answer is certainly yes.  some Rhodesian whites and other minorities might have stayed, contributing to the nations development.
