Sudanese dictator

Sudanese dictator, `Umar Hasan Bashir, is really dumb. I mean, among many dumb Arab leaders (you think of Saudi King, Moroccan King, UAE Shaykh, Kuwaiti Emir, etc), Bashir is really dumb. To deal with the Dharfur issue, he has been resorting to the last refuge of Arab dictators: to pose as a champion of the Palestinian cause. He told AlJazeera yesterday that there can be no peace with Israel and yet when pressed by the host, Ghassan Bin Jiddu, he would not say that he would abandon support for the Thomas Friedman Arab peace initative. That lousy plan was supported unanmiously by all Arab leaders.
