...familiar story: The tyrant dictator calls elections thinking they'll legitimize his rule. The people vote him out, so he tries to steal the result. And the masses rise up and toss him in the trash can of history. But then the Ivory Coast story starts to diverge a little from the Yugoslavian one. The capital of the West African nation, Abidjan, was seized by street violence again Thursday despite a popular victory on the streets the previous day, in which General Robert Gueï was forced to flee the country in the face of massive demonstrations just days after...
