Sir Moammar Gadhafi Blasting Speech At Un ?

[SAadmin]

I am sure you guys heard of blasting speech by Sir Moammar Gadhaffi at UN last week- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvOo5LK22sg... just wanted to know what you guys think of it? Also watch here is the interview of gadhaffi with fareed zakira of CNN http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/fareed.zakaria.gps/.

Few things I find it very interesting from gadhaffi's interview which i will mention it here:

- By heart Gadhaffi is Socialist.

- When CNN anchor asked gadhaffi how outside world perceive libya citizen was behind lockerbie bombing and that perception was reinforced when Libya compensate each victims with 11 million dollars then why he was given hero's welcome????? Gadhaffi responded calmly, Libya accepted civil responsibility of bombing due to one of its own citizen but don't consider al megrahi criminally responsible for the bombing. {ps I am not saying al megrahi was innocent or guilty, just stating what he thought about al megrahi.)

- Wherever he goes, he lives in a tent, shows tyaagi santokhi birthi despite of being a multi-millionaire.

- I didn't know he wrote three book series how economy should be handled and west should follow socialism ideals. One of his book called green book, here is bit more about them:

The Green Book Broken Down

The Green Book is a collection of three volumes published between 1976 and 1979.

Book One: Published in 1976, the first volume, “The Authority of the People,” is Libya’s equivalent of The Federalist Papers—a series of essays on government theory and how best the people should govern themselves. (Needless to say, the comparison to the Federalist is meant purely as a reflection of the Green Book’s presumption, not its style or substance.)

The volume expounds on the failure of parliamentary democracy (it is unthinkable that democracy should mean the electing of only a few representatives to act on behalf of great masses. This is an obsolete structure”) and the failure of tribal and class systems, and their replacement by what Qaddafi calls “Popular Conferences and the People's Committees.” Those conferences and people’s committees have not been a factor in Libya’s development (and stagnation) since 1969.

Book Two: The second volume, “The Solution of the Economic Problem: Socialism,” was published in 1978. It calls for the end of a wage- and rent-based economy, to be replaced by self-employment or economic partnerships.

“Wage-earners are but slaves to the masters who hire them,” Qaddafi writes. The solution? “The ultimate solution lies in abolishing the wage-system, emancipating people from its bondage and reverting to the natural laws which defined relationships before the emergence of classes, forms of governments and man-made laws. These natural rules are the only measures that ought to govern human relations.”

It’s not clear what Qaddafi means by abolishing wages resulting from “production” and replacing them with income as “a private matter” that “should either be managed privately to meet one's needs or be a share from a production process,” though in a few examples presented later in the book Qaddafi seems to suggest that people should earn whatever satisfies their needs and no more. He does not define the line between need and luxury, or need and indulgence.

Book Three: The third volume, “The Social Basis of the Third International Theory,” was published in 1979. Jana, the Libyan news agency, reported at the time that people converged on bookstores “in orderly queues” to pick up their copy.

Libyans read about Qaddafi’s ideas on “The Nation, “The Tribe,” on women, on black people, minorities, education, music and art, “sports, horsemanship and the stage.” Readers will likely find this volume the most entertaining of the three for its Vico-like, all-encompassing generalities. But Qaddafi prefers dourness to Vico’s exuberance, and of course Qaddafi’s thoughts have none of the charm and reach (to say nothing of the influence) of Vico’s.

On blacks: “The population of other races has decreased because of birth control, restrictions on marriage, and constant occupation in work, unlike the Blacks, who tend to be less obsessive about work in a climate which is continuously hot.”

On music and art: “Humans, being backward, are still unable to speak one common language. Until this human aspiration is attained, which seems impossible, the expression of joy and sorrow, of what is good and bad, beautiful and ugly, comfortable and miserable [...]--all will be expressed according to the language each person speaks spontaneously.”

On sport: “Boxing and wrestling are evidence that mankind has not rid itself of all savage behaviour.” Qaddafi must’ve anticipated Friday night Smackdown.

He certainly seems humble, more educated, someone who walks on che guvera revolution than your typical middle eastern mullah leader.

What are your thoughts?

Please discuss....!!!

He spoke the truth - that the Security Council is unjust and that the UN has no substance, they just talk.

He's just another African dictator nutjob though he seems to have verbal diarrhoea which at least makes him somewhat amusing.

Humble? I think not. His tent is a luxury tent surrounded by a coterie of female virgin bodyguards selected bt Gaddafi himself. When he was in France in 2007 for a 5 day visit he came with an entourage of 400 in 5 planes and he brought his own desert camel with him.

I remember seeing an interview with a few years back on an Arab television station. Mid-speech he decided to jump around the studio trying to swat a fly, completely oblivious to the fact that he was on national television. He is the Arab version of a pindu (the Arabs call him the "teenager of politics").

I think the UN has become another tool to be used and abused by Western Europeans to try and keep their dominance on the world politically, economically and militarily. When it suits some they ignore it, when it may be useful it is used.

I hope other non white power blocks like South America, Africa etc. grow in strength to redress the imbalanced power held by western Europe and its chumchay. No chance of India doing that though, they seem to have the worse sort of chumcha/giddar tendencies towards Europe. They couldn't even do anything about Pakistanis walking in a main city and spraying the place with machine gun fire. I guess, they should stick to killing their own minorities, what they are best at.
