Spoilers Part II

Quick update there have been protests in the city of Benghazi, Libya. Estimates are hundreds to a couple thousand. Despite this most people think it is unlikely that Gaddafi will lose power, but it still something to be concerned about if you are Gaddafi...

I forgot the weirdest spoiler from the list. Our very own Omar Bashir of Sudan. Shortly after Mubarak was deposed, he was on state-owned television with a crowd of women and school children. He loves this crowd, makes him look stately, and paternalistic. Bastard.

He declared to all that the youth are vital, they are the future, and that he congratulates the great youth of Egypt for demanding their freedom. And then he followed this up, by dancing with his carved cane (not functional purely decorative). This might perplex you, a singing and dancing president. It might have perplexed the Sudanese populace at one time, but he's been dancing now for the past decade or so. He danced after defying the International Criminal Court to arrest him for war crimes. Its comical watching him, like a fumbling bear in the circus.

The man is either demented, or disingenuous. Telling the Sudanese that he believes in the power of youth, and believes in freedom when only a couple weeks ago his security forces killed, injured, and imprisoned said youth for daring to protest, and demanding change.

Another interesting development, Omar Bashir has now joined Facebook. Apparently he's somewhat concerned about possible campaigns planned on social networks. He's hoping to befriend these young Sudanese activists and convince them of his fun, hip and humane ways. Short of that he hopes to entrap, imprison, torture, kill, anything to keep him president. Because unlike Mubarak, if he's deposed they'll be shipping his ass to the Hague to stand trial for war crimes. (Heard rumors that these charges may be dismissed since he's behaved so well, by get this, accepting the right of self-determination for the southern Sudanese people. Oh Omar you are such a good boy, down boy, sit).

So if you're lucky you might get to friend a dictator, yay!
