An interesting nugget of info on the strange happenings in Libya.
Put simply, no one should be in power for 42 years without being troubled by elections or campaigning. But the European & American cockroaches who have plagued Africa since the slave trade chose to take advantage of genuine uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt and called their friends and double agents like Mousa Kousa, that they'd been nurturing for over 20 years to hijack genuine uprisings in North Africa & the middle east.
What I find very difficult to forgive is that these bastards have deceived decent people of Benghazi and eastern Libya generally, and dragged them into an unwinnable and long conflict with a western-armed dictator that they hated but were smartly surviving under. These unfortunate people are now pawns in a really dirty game between the Gaddafi family and their western ex-friends.
Even madder than Gaddafi pater was Sarkozy and his crazy haste to declare that the rebels were now the only legitimate government of Libya. I thought stuff like that was best left to the UN and various regional bodies, like the AU and Arab League in this case. I really wondered what had got into Sarkozy? Was it because he was a pathetic 3rd in the polls in his re-election bid, or was it something else? - like not wanting the witnesses to certain actions to be around.
Now Gaddafi Jnr says he & his crazy dude dad funded Sarkozy's election and want their money back.
Stranger than this allegation is that no one has tried to deny it.
