Mugabe denying Zimbabweans free elections to extend his own rule "to infinite", to paraphrase him!

"Having joined government and tasted the warm sweetness of power, the MDC formations no longer want elections. They want elections suspended indefinitely and their governorship extended to infinite." Mugabe told his Zanu PF Politburo in his push for elections to be held this year. MDC say elections the elections should be push to 2013 or 2012 at the earliest!

Well to paraphrase Mugabe; he was elected thirty years ago and having “tasted the warm sweetness of power” he no longer want free and fair elections so he can extend his own rule to life-president!

It does it take three years to sort out the voters' roll and all the other reforms required for free and fair elections? No it does not!

Even if the elections were delayed by eight or twelve months to next year; what is there to make one believe the reforms would finally be carried out? None!

Whoever was responsible for making sure that democratic reforms were carried out dropped the ball. And the finger of blame points at MDC.

Tsvangirai and his MDC friends were stupid to sign the GPA and having signed it they blundered further by doing nothing to push for reforms. Giving them another year will not change the fundamental fact that reform is being spear headed by blundering idiots! This is the elephant in the room that must be acknowledged first and only then will we have hope of finding the way out of this mess!

The June 2008 presidential run-off were violent so violent that even the SADC and AU election observers could give the whole process a clean bill of health. So where does this talk of the process being "inclusive" come from?

After the sham June 2008 the whole international community including SADC refused to accept Mugabe as the legitimately elected head of state. The power sharing was a way out for Mugabe. Tsvangirai did not have to accept it. That was the once in a lifetime chance for Zimbabwe to end the Mugabe dictatorship and Tsvangirai blundered.

For Zimbabwe the June 2008 was a very important and significant moment comparable to fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. He did not seize the moment.

Now we trust the same idiot not to blunder again if another opportunite should arise. How dumb can we be!
