What do you guys think of the President of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir and the charges being brought against him? He's being charged with genocide, resisting arrest, and corruption. He allegedly used excessive force against the civilian population during the Darfur War. On one side he was fighting what he considered to be "terrorists" and on the other side he committed genocide against civilians and was discriminatory against different ethnic groups within his own country.

He seems to be hiding from international police forces and probably won't surrender without putting even more blood on his hands. Personally I think he's guilty, but that's for the International Criminal Court to decide. What do you think, is he a hero for his putting an end to the Second Sudanese Civil War and the War in Darfur, or is he a genocidal dictator for his refusal to give up power and allegedly committing genocide? He's a good actor, but is he a good president?

I suppose it depends on how you're defining "good".
