For God's sake go!

The Times of London has an article about Robert Mugabe's latest attempt to stave off the inevitable and hold on to power in Zimbabwe. The man has lost the election, even after he used government-controlled police and broadcasters, and widely reported voter fraud, in an attempt to steal it. What does it take to get a dictator out of power?
Zimbabwe is at the point of moving from a pseudo-democracy, to possibly becoming a real one. Will there have to be a second revolution, with all its attendant loss of life and property, or will the ballot box results be sufficient to move Mugabe out of office? We are seeing a defining moment in the history of Africa. A moment that could change a continent and the world.
