Gaddafi Speaks At The Arab Summit In Syria 2008

Guy was an unstable nut. But in this video, he seems to hold his audience in rapt attention, and notice the snickering amongst other leaders- especially Assad.

Unstable...?
Sort of...
But also a F sight less unstable than what we have now.


Increasingly convinced 'the West' lost sight of that essential Realpolitik maxim of it being quite possible for sonofabitches to be brought to heel somewhat as 'our' sonofabitches.
Moral absolutism, an unshakable faith in the weird concept that democracy automatically suits any and all nations, and forgetting the value of buffer states (despite many tricky areas thereof..).
But then, I'm a horrible old cynic who thinks we haven't used half enough nuclear weapons in the last few decades.

 

He abducted young girls from schools (at least they had schools for girls) in order to have sex with.

But guys like him managed to balance the messed up political/religious scene there abouts...Yeah, when Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad etc lost control, the region went even more into a hell hand basket.

KSA doesn't want to have to work (like most of its lazy ass citizens), so they pay big bucks for others to do their dirty laundry.

Lets take away oil revenue that funds a lot of our problems.

 

Gaddafi was a d-bag, but he did keep the Islamists in check, our leaders should've just let the guy prevail in Libya, now the country is left in disorder and provides terrorist groups a safe haven, a bunch of morons, as always.

 

a lot of these ''leaders'' were not voted in...they either got in by blood or bloodless coups, assassinations, rigged elections, etc...these countries are not at all like the western world in their culture, justice, politics, etc....more like tribal warfare and might makes right...Saddam and Gaddafi were not voted in...Saddam tried to assassinate ''president'' Quasim, who had overthrown the previous ''leader! they are just strongmen, willing to murder to gain power
no order, discipline, unity, etc...one of the reasons why tiny Israel defeated them so many times
