The reasons why this is probably not a runner are to obvious to need enumerating, but it still seems extraordinarily significant that he said it at all.
Easy to say 'you must be joking', as some of the commenters have duly done (among them a South African from whom we would welcome a suggestion as to when his own government may find time to subject Mugabe to a mild ticking off), but then what can the rest of the world do to help? Any bright ideas from the academic boycott brigade?
Africa's top brass are gathered in Accra, where they are talking about Col. Gaddafi's plans for a pan-African government. Saith the Beeb, 'There are fears the issue will push the crises in Zimbabwe, Somalia and Darfur off the agenda.' So the debate is after all serving some purpose, then... Reasons for being less cynical about the AU gratefully received.

Hi. My name is Eugene Gershin. I'd like to welcome you to Obadiah Shoher's blog, Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict.
Obadiah is a pen name of a politician. He writes extremely controversial articles about Israel, the Middle East politics, and terrorism.
Obadiah advocates political rationalism instead of moralizing. He is economic liberal and political conservative.
Google refused advertising our site and Amazon deleted reviews of Obadiah's book. Nevertheless, Obadiah’s is the largest Jewish personal blog, read by more than 100,000 people monthly. 210,000 people from 81 countries downloaded Obadiah’s book. The blog was voted the best overall in People’s Choice: Jewish and Israeli blogs Awards, received Webby Honoree and other awards.
Please help us spread Obadiah's message, and mention the blog in one of your posts, or link to us. We would greatly appreciate your comments at www.samsonblinded.org/blog
Best wishes,
Eugene Gershin
