The Libya situation

[esfandyar]

After reading more of his book, he has a whole section about how sports are essential yet their shouldn't be pro sports teams (yet he owns 7.5% of Juventus)

Public sport is for all the masses. It is right of all people for their health and recreational benefit. It is mere stupidity to leave its benefits to certain individuals and teams who monopolize these while the masses provide the facilities and pay the expenses for the establishment of public sports. The thousands who crowd stadiums to view, applaud and laugh are foolish people who have failed to carry out the activity themselves. They line up lethargically in the stands of the sports grounds, and applaud those heroes who wrest from them the initiative, dominate the field and control the sport and, in so doing, exploit the facilities that the masses provide. Originally, the public grandstands were designed to demarcate the masses from the playing fields and grounds; to prevent the masses from having access to the playing fields. When the masses march and play sport in the centre of playing fields and open spaces, stadiums will be vacant and become redundant. This will take place when the masses become aware of the fact; that sport is a public activity which must be practised rather than watched. This is more reasonable as an alternative than the present costum of a helpless apathetic majority that merely watches.

dude that green book is a joke. bunches of old(er) lefty communists used to always try and reference this as a strength to the communist arguement here in phoenix.. idiots. now look at the fucker. italy reports over 1000 people dead from the protests, gaddafi has killed many of his own soldiers who are not participating in the slaughter of his people... using tanks and bombings from aircraft to kill his own people.. fuck him.

He's geniusly dumb

He's a bad stereotype of the middle eastern/north african dictator who thinks that portion of the world is still cut off from the rest.

Back in the 80's he'd say that and the rest of the region would believe it and Gadaffi would have support.

Reminds me of when the US invaded Iraq and the Iraq defense minister went on TV denying there were US troops in Iraq. These regimes have been in power for so long that they're seemingly shocked that their countries have changed so much right under their noses.

I think he's waaaaay more intelligent than he seems. imo he's already got an escape issue planned, somebody like him must have family in the emirates or shit like that... Being a fucking gigantic megaloman doesn't keep someone from being smart (cfr Hitler) and Gaddafi is probably that kind of person

I cant see him leaving the country alive. I can't think of anywhere that would offer him asylum that wouldn't result in him being put on trial or simply killed

Only place that might have him is Zimbabwe, Gaddafi's given Mugabwe plenty financial aid over the years, I've just read unconfirmed reports that Mugabe's sending commandoes to Libya: http://www.thezimbabwemail.com/zimbabwe/7397.html

Wouldn't surprise me, these two only have each other.

Obama implied this morning that the US would not pursue him if he sought exile. That doesn't represent everyone who has grief against him but may seem like an option opening up for him to leave.
