Qaddafi is right

I didn't think that I'll ever say this, but Muammar al-Qaddafi, the Dictator of Libya, is right. Then again, even a broken a clock is right twice a day.


"I've seen that in America, a candidate who wants people to vote for him keeps talking about change," Qaddafi said earlier this week in a televised address on Libyan TV, an obvious reference to Barack Obama.

"They all keep saying 'change, change,' " he continued, adding Hillary Clinton to his reference. "They want to change America and its current political system. They want to make a change in their lives. They say their system is a failure, that their government is a failure, and that their elections are a failure."

He then lost it, rumbling about how all the world should adopt the "Libyan model" of a "Republic for the Masses", etc., etc., etc.....an idea which appeals more to the average European leftist than to the Arab street.

Qaddafi's lunacy notwithstanding, one must admit that he has a point and sees the emptiness of the Democrats' message. Now if he can also advise them on matters of Foreign Policy, I think the Liberals have a "winner" this coming November....
