WORLD NEWS: "Zimbabwe Leaders Strike Deal, Mbeki Says: Mugabe, Opposition Would Share Power, But Details Unclear," by Chip Cummins and Margaret Coker, Wall Street Journal, 12 September 2008, p. A10.

This was Mugabe's goal all along, thwarting the will of the people just like Kenya's leader had earlier (indeed, his trickery provided the blueprint).

Same on Mbeki for this one. He accomplishes nothing, extends the suffering of Zimbabweans, and simply puts off the final reckoning--and South Africa's associated bill.
