I have in the past considered Moamer Gaddafi of Libya as an eccentric, a man who didn't seem to know what he wanted. It was only a few days ago, after his long speech at the UN and his interview on Aljazeera, that I began to have some respect for the man. Unlike other third world leaders he had the guts to speak up against the body he was addressing, throwing away a copy of the UN charter as a piece of shit that had nothing to do with justice and fair play for all members but was something that served only the interests of the West and that of Russia and China. He called for a new body which I myself have advocated for a long time -- a body where no one had the power of the veto. I hope he succeeds in getting enough support from other countries. aziz anom |
