How to Behave, Libyan Style
This article in The Times caught my eye. Here’s the first two paragraphs.
A Swiss businessman who has been holed up in his country’s embassy in Tripoli for much of the past 19 months finally surrendered to the Libyan authorities yesterday after they ringed the compound with police and allegedly threatened to storm it.
Max Göldi walked out of the embassy and was taken to prison two hours after a noon deadline that the Libyan regime had set for his surrender. It was the latest twist to a saga that began when Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s son was arrested in Geneva in 2008 and led to Libya denying entry to most Europeans last week.
Colonel Mad (a.k.a. Gaddafi) seems to be up to his old tricks again, perhaps this time on behalf of his son, Hannibal. The son, sounds like a very bad chip off the old block, if the list of his offences in the article is to be believed. But he’s obviously a devout Muslim, so it doesn’t matter.
But we’re supposed to be all friend’s with Gaddafi now. He has the oil. And the blood on his hands!
