It appears that the loser of the Zimbabwe presidential elections, Robert Mugabe, is going to unleash his forces to stay in power http://FoxNews.com .
According to Fox, police raided a hotel where foreign journalists are staying and rounded up to six journalists including one for the New York Times, Barry Bearak.
And police also raided the headquarters of the winning party, the Movement for Democratic Change, MDC.
The delusional Mr. Mugabe has held an iron grip on this nation since 1980, when the white government was replaced by a provisional government and then by the tyrant himself.
Now, Mr. Mugabe is ready for a run off because he will claim that the rightful winner, Morgan Tsvangirai, did got get 50% plus one. Any one below that and the top two candidates are in a runoff.
But, most observers believe that Mr. Tsvangirai won the needed percentage, in fact it is 50.3% to Mr. Mugabe and the ruling ZANU-PF party's 43%.
Watch events in Zimbabwe. An outright win by the MDC, which has won control of parliament, and Mr. Tsvangirai will be welcome news. If this nation spirals into more of the abyss, look for the radical Islamics to try to spread money around to "help" the people. It is exactly how Hezbollah attained power in Lebanon.
