It probably does not bode well for the length of his tenure, but he's one American official I can say I am proud of.

Dell's voice about Harare may be much louder if he's kicked out than it is now. I would think Americans who've never even heard of Harare will hear about Our Ambassador Being Kicked Out By Tinpot Dictator. All he needs is to be a strong voice when outside the country, not just within it. I hope to God the situation in Zimbabwe resolves into something good soon, with no more good people suffering, and the cockroach himself in a Roach Motel, where he belongs.
