Tsvangirai quits the race in Zimbabwe...

It looks like the crackpot Mugabe will remain in power in Zimbabwe after his goon squads have terrorized the opposition into quiting the election. From the UN's office of the secretary-general:

"The secretary-general deeply regrets that, despite the repeated appeals of the international community, the government of Zimbabwe has failed to put in place the conditions necessary for free and fair runoff elections," Ban's office said.

"The circumstances that led to the withdrawal of opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai today from the presidential elections represents a deeply distressing development that does not bode well for the future of democracy in Zimbabwe."

Understate much Mr. Secretary? I truly hope the asshole Mugabe gets his due at some point, but it looks as if the international community is going to let him off the hook this time.
