Mugabe and his band of.....of....I'm not even going there.....have finally agreed to talks about sharing power. President Mbeki from South Africa is moderating these talks and hopes to have some kind of conclusion within two weeks.
Two weeks? While this doesn't seem like a long time, but it is. There are bigger things to think about:
1. In two weeks, how many people will die in Zimbabwe?
2. How long will it take for any changes to take place? And how many will die during that time?
3. How will inflation be controlled in the time being?
4. Will humanitarian groups be given freedom to help in Zimbabwe?
One of the promising things about these talks is that there is talk of a new constitution. I would love to know what they are thinking...and what you are thinking that read this blog.
Here is the question: What should a new Zimbabwean constitution consist of?

No doubt too many will die from preventable causes in the next two weeks.
2. How long will it take for any changes to take place? And how many will die during that time?
It may go on for decades! Zimbabwe will not be a U.S. concern while we are going through a recession, an energy crisis, an election year and two wars.
3. How will inflation be controlled in the time being?
It won't. Money will become worthless and everyone will lose whatever stores of wealth they have. The only things of value will be land, commodities, and services.
4. Will humanitarian groups be given freedom to help in Zimbabwe?
Let's pray they are allowed to operate in Zimbabwe.
What should a new Zimbabwean constitution consist of?
More importantly, will the new constitution be backed by the rule of law.
Very very sad.
