Omar al-Bashir and Mugabe Meet

Two of the worst tyrants on the pkanet right now. Mugabe the man who destroyed a country and brought about a level of misery that you would have to read a Graham Green novel to find, and Bashir, the man who has wiped out hundreds of thousands of people in Darfur.

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) -- President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan, indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity, has met with Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe, state radio reported Sunday.But the former opposition leader now trying to govern with Mugabe as prime minister -- and struggling to end Zimbabwe's international isolation -- said he had not known al-Bashir was expected.

Al-Bashir, the first sitting head of state to be indicted by the international human rights court, paid a courtesy call late Saturday on Mugabe, the radio said. Al-Bashir was attending a two-day Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa summit Mugabe was hosting in the northwestern resort town of Victoria Falls.Zimbabwe is not among the 108 countries that have ratified the statute creating the world's first permanent war crimes tribunal. Ratifying nations would be required to arrest al-Bashir.

Not for nothing Bashir still has the ICC arrest warrant out for him.
