Can Zimbabwean Dictator be Used for Peace Process?
Michael Gerson, Council on Foreign Relations | June 18, 2009
Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai is holding fast to a power-sharing agreement with tyrant president Robert Mugabe, despite such an arrangement having little history of success. ++ He "calculates that Mugabe is part of the solution" and aims to work around him to improve Zimbabwe's economy, and create peace and stability even though he tried to murder him. ++ "Given Mugabe's history, this smacks of naiveté." ++ This situation demands responses from US President Obama and his South African counterpart Jacob Zuma.
