1. I bought the Globe today

Because of that article. I always buy the Star, the Sun for Agnes, the Globe when there's something I want, and never, ever, ever get the National Post....not even if it's FREE!

3. The post is a horrible read.

Just a bad paper. Beautifully laid out though.

2. Title of his Ph.D. thesis: "The role of civil society in the democratisation of global governance

institutions: from 'soft power' to collective decision-making"

LOL. What a hypocrite.

4. He is a tragic figure, caught between two worlds and he chose

badly in the end. He was considered to be the moderate, reasonable son. Educated in the West he had learned a lot about how democracies work. But in the end loyalty to his father and his culture, trumped everything else. In a different world, things could have been different. It seems like he went off the deep end and now may end up being prosecuted for crimes against humanity. What these dictators do to their children is almost as bad as what they do their own people.
