Went up as soon as the Libyan PM confirmed everything.
I love these Obit guys, putting all this stuff together weeks, months, years in advance in some dark, death-obsessed corner of the office.

Read Mukiwa for a great view on the end of Rhodesia... And any of a number of other books. Fascinating history, really. But Mugabe's election isn't quite as above board as he would like folks to believe. Well...it is, I guess, comparatively speaking.

Interesting to see how the endgame in Syria unfolds next...
