From the Economist -- About Mugabe's Fall

There are two morals to draw from Mr Mugabe's long, ignominious career. The first is that bad policies, corruptly implemented, can wreck a country with alarming speed and go on wrecking it long after you would have thought there was nothing left.

The second moral is that, for all its disappointments, democracy remains the best antidote for bad rulers.
