Politics, Meet Bedfellows

I knew I wasn’t alone in arguing that Bashir deserves to be punished for his crimes:

Al-Qaeda number two Ayman Zawahiri urged the people of Sudan to prepare for guerrilla war and for President Omar al-Beshir to “repent,” in an Internet video message released on Tuesday.

Zawahiri said Beshir’s regime is “reaping what it sowed,” in reference to the International Criminal Court arrest warrant against the veteran Sudanese president this month on charges of war crimes over the conflict in Darfur.

“So will the Beshir regime take the path of Islam and jihad and abandon the political maneouvres, diplomatic ruses and international smooth-talking, which has not — and will not — bring anything other than disasters and tragedies?” Zawahiri said in the message, according to the US-based SITE Intelligence Group.

See, people from across the political spectrum support the warrant!
