On the cusp

America will intervene in Zimbabwe if there's a coup, says a "Senior White House Official". Is that big news? I happen to think so.

Meanwhile Mugabe has been threatening to seize British businesses. Polling agents have also been restricted (Note: not banned, which is the impression one gets).

And meanwhile if you saw this headline in the local press would it make you worried?

THE conduct of certain church leaders at last weekend's MDC-organised National Day of Prayer has left many people ashamed to be Christians.

How about the fact that it was at a Zanu-PF organised prayer meeting and the headline was in the opposition press? All I'm saying is don't expect the new guys to be saints.
