Makes me think this is a game, hence the Risk game.

He went to the Sahara Desert before Tunisia. Remember, he kicked those two guys' ASSES.
Widmore is probably Ben's constant, as I pointed out last night in my conversation with soxfan. I don't think the whole constant thing only applies to when you get that "time sickness", I think it just allows you to travel through time under your own control. If you fall sick, you must find a constant to stop the symptoms. That doesn't mean that your constant can't get killed, and you subsequently must seek out a new constant. Anyway, perhaps Ben has figured out how to time travel in a more controlled manner. In addition, when Widmore asks Ben if he is there to kill him, Ben responds with "you and I both know that I can't do that." I don't think Ben can do that because he can't kill his constant, which would result in his own death. They appear to have a very long history ... Widmore probably pops up enough times throughout Ben's history in order to make himself a candidate for Ben's constant, which is why I think he is indeed the constant.
I feel like I saw this coming. I knew Alex was going to die because I thought the story could go into a very interesting direction with Ben trying to avenge her death, as was confirmed in this latest episode. Ben's attempts to kill Penny will bring him into direct conflict with Desmond...but for now, the survivors must team up with the others against a common, greater enemy.

He means the time sickness that Minkowski and Desmond fell victim to.
What I want to know is ... why the fuck did the Kahana's crew slit the doctor's throat??
