Raila and Kalonzo appear keen to exercise 'Samsonian Option'

The Biblical character Samson died when he brought down a Philistine temple. He did this by pushing apart the pillars of the Temple of Dagon, bringing down the roof and killing himself and thousands of Philistines who had captured him.

Opposition leaders Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka appear to be bent on exercising the Samsonian option by pushing apart the pillars that hold Kenyan society. How else can one describe calls for secession? What would one call the threat to return to mass action against the Kenya Kwanza government when such action has proved to be inimical to law and order? Yet, going by their recent public utterances, this is what these leaders intend.
