BBC News today has a story that I could not believe when I saw the link to it on the BBC News Middle East page....Gaddafi gives lessons on democracy.......HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA....In it he tells an audience in New York's Columbia university that: "There is no state with a democracy except Libya in the whole PLANET." He went on to criticize Western democracies as 'fake' and 'farcical'. His reasoning is that his Jamahiriya system gave 'his' people a genuine opportunity to air their views at "people's congresses." Firstly, you are talking to people in Columbia university, and I am not being an elitist or anything, bas ya3ni come on, these are people who are not the stupid or easily lead astray. Second, I have been to Libya and I love the people there barsha barsha-bas who is he kidding-he came into power in 1969 by a military coup and has NEVER faced an election.
He then went on to criticize other Middle Eastern governments and how undemocratic they are...and this man is just funny...and I have always enjoyed listening to him, and watching him. He has gone from being a true Arabist to being all about Africa and wearing African style clothing-ok I know there is nothing called African style clothing since it is a WHOLE continent, bas humour me.
Well that is it really...read it...found it funny...and thought the rest of you might also enjoy:)
He is insane.
