Bad Day For Dictators
According to the BBC widget on my sidebar on today in history: Napoleon was shipped to Elba, McArthur got fired by Truman, and Idi Amin was thrown out of Uganda.
According to CNN Laurent Gbagbo of the Ivory Coast joined the list:
(CNN) — Forces stormed the president’s residence in Ivory Coast on Monday and arrested self-declared president Laurent Gbagbo, whose refusal to accept the results of a presidential election last year plunged the West African nation into civil war.
The 11th of April may not have the zing of the Ides of March, but it works for me. [I missed Napoleon, but was around for the rest of the events.]
