Gaddafi Rambles |
2005-03-23 |
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi grabbed the spotlight at the Arab summit in Algiers on Wednesday, calling Israelis and Palestinians idiots for seeking separate states and saying the U.N. Security Council was a terrorist organization. The Algerian hosts of the two-day meeting gave the maverick leader a star role on the closing day, allowing him to vent at length on Arab grievances about international relations. He said the world should thank Syria for maintaining peace in Lebanon and argued that what he called "Islamic terrorism" was mainly the result of the West's cultural arrogance... I suspect that Gaddafi's problem is not that he's a kook, but that he's a blue collar guy in a white collar world. Put him in a coffee shop with a dozen Libyan construction workers, and you would be hard pressed to tell which one is him, based on their opinions. |

#3 He's a riot! I'm curious about the array of crap on his fancy uniform. Does he bestoy them upon himself? |

#2 Put him in a coffee shop with a dozen Libyan construction workers, and you would be hard pressed to tell which one is him... Since I doubt that all Libyan construction workers wear Field Marshall's uniforms or Joan Crawford's old dresses, I'll bet I could pick him out... |
