At this time, this upcoming runoff is not really about Tsvangirai; it's still about Mugabe...

There was a story many years ago, apparently true, that a senior Saudi minister interfered with the foreign worker community modernizing his nation...The King suddenly announced that the minister had gone on a hunting trip to Iran...And rumor had it at that time that the minister was still hunting for a job.

Perhaps Tsvangirai and the Saudi minister will meet in front of the same employment agency in London. Friend bayou: the real question here is not on which of a scattering of dates Tsvangirai will return to Zimbabwe. The situation is very similar to Mrs. Bhutto of Pakistan, and the results could well be the same.

The real question here is whether Tsvangirai will return to Zimbabwe before or after the runoff election on June 27th. And you can be assured that he will not return at all if he does not win outright. If he does return, it should be in a popemobile, wearing Joan of Arc's armor...
