sod off col.GADDAFI (for Fally)

Although I have not been keenly following the arab world revolution, the Libyan case has come to my attention as one that is quite interesting. In the recent past I have found that it is best to not pay too much attention on issues that I have no control of and focus instead obn those that I do.

Of late however, I have started using twitter and while the whole thing is a disaster and not half as good as facebook as far as socializing goes, it is quite informative on world politics and trends. So GMA (good morning  America)  morning news had it that officials close to Gaddafi  were looking into exile as a possible option for them should the worst come to the worst.

This got me thinking and reading more into the Libyan issue. 1^st things first, a Ugandan fellow known as Museveni does not believe that the west should interfere in the issue…so says the person whose country relies  heavily on the west to take care of its AIDS victims and other poverty stricken citizens through the west’s NGO’s.  What if the west was not to interfere with his little (yet not so little considering we are talking about hundreds of thousands of the “sebos” and “nyabos”)  issue?

I further read on something that shocked me rather than interested me: Israel has promised Gaddafi up to 50,000 troops to aid him in his struggle. Now, why would you aid a leader to fight his own people? This however does not come as a surprise, Libya under Gaddafi has in the past worked with Israel and apartheid south Africa in developing deadly germ and chemical weapons that were used by south Africa in Angola and elsewhere leaving thousands dead.

I personally support what the European Union and the rest of the world that is ant-gaddafi are doing. We do not have to wait for another Rwanda to stop civilian killings by their own leader. I personally have nothing against Gaddafi as a person; on the contrary I think he’s got swag. I just do not think as one columnist put it, that it is fair to force a whole country to live by the rules you wrote in an old book with a worn out green cover.

Another thing, why on earth does Gaddafi’s son speak for the government?  These guys are unbelievable. You cannot run a whole government as if it was  a family factory. That the AU has done too little too late concerning the issue is a show enough that the other African leaders are afraid the same will happen to them. They are living by the adage that “if you live in a glass house you should not throw stones”. Its no wonder most of the leaders that were over thrown in the recent past were so busy looking at the horizon where they would rule forever to notice the people uprising at their feet.

So to the EU, USA, NATO and whoever else is helping those rebels I say Godspeed. And to the people of Libya   “POWER UNTO YOU!! FIGHT ON!!”

For those that argue with Gaddafi’s track record of helping the youth and making Libya what it is today, I leave you with the words of yet another columnist

 “If a man in his youth was graceful and morally upright but in his manhood became a mass murderer, surely, he cannot be judged by his history but by his present”
