Your Late Nite Zimbabwe Update

Well, Officials: Mugabe has won his phony election, and has been sworn in.

It also that Tsvangirai has hardened his stance a bit, saying that there will be no unity government with the MDC as a junior partner.

Bush is calling for more sanctions, but they are not enough. If Bush were to threaten sanctions against banks with subsidiaries doing business in Zimbabwe, the cash that the ZANU-PF uses to reward loyalists, and Mugabe would be out in a week.

Nobel laureate Desmond Tutu has declared that the "international community has the right now to override the sovereignty argument of the country."

As a first step, he would shut down commerical air transport from Zimbabwe, which would mean that, "Mugabe and his sidekicks would not be able to -- as they are now -- escape the rigors of their own policies."
