Libyans, Tunisians and Bahrainis, oh my!

I am back. You did not think that I would let the situation in North Africa/Middle East (NAME) pass without comment, did you? Have any of you been watching the crumbled empires fall? Very interesting, and uncertain, stuff. The genie is indeed out of the bottle. Fear no longer controls the masses. What does it mean and why now?

I do not know what it means or how this thing ultimately plays out. Of course, there is historic precedence for these events. So, we will have to deal with the uncertainty as this plays out from NAME to Iran and Pakistan (as it will).

The funniest part is this. After Eqypt and Mubarak's resignation, crazy Unlce Mo (Mohammar Khaddafi) opened his freak mouth in Libya. He suggested that this kind of protest would work by the Palestinians against Israel. He suggested, non-violence of course, that the Palestinians in the Gaza should march on the Israeli border. They should do it peacefully and that Israel would capitulate.

Classic misdirection ploy? Ignore his own people and his 41 years of repression and try to rally the Palestinians. What does he get for his brilliance? Big time riotting and blood shed in his country. Did you see his short press talk to state that he had not fled Libya for Venezuela (Mr. Chavez, you may be next)? What the fuck was with that umbrella? Does he think he is Rhianna? Mary Poppins? He is a fucking nutbar!

So, his UN delegation has defected. 2 of his fighter pilots also defected to Malta, taking their aircraft with them. He is firing on his own and people and states that he will become a martyr rather than flee. Came to power in a coup and going to go out like his buddy Saddam (bloody and cowering). It looks good on him.

"Martyr", there is term that is thrown out a bit too religiously, I would say. Not sure, how he can claim the 72 virgins in heaven as a martyr. It seems just retribution for all the Libyan blood he has spilled. Good luck to he and his sons, that family business seems to have gone bankrupt.

Next!

Ciao!
