Saw this one coming

Not surprisingly, Robert Mugabe is not going to fade away peacefully. Here's the latest from Zimbabwe:

President Robert Mugabe's government raided the offices of the main opposition movement and rounded up foreign journalists Thursday in an ominous indication that he may use intimidation and violence to keep his grip on power.

Police raided a hotel used by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change and ransacked some of the rooms. Riot police also surrounded another hotel housing foreign journalists and took away several of them, according to a man who answered the phone there.

''Mugabe has started a crackdown,'' Movement for Democratic Change general secretary Tendai Biti told The Associated Press. ''It is quite clear he has unleashed a war.''

Sigh.
