GADDAFFI'S LAST FORMAL SPEECH: In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful... For 40 years, or was it longer, I can't remember, I did all I could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave them food. I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert, I stood up to attacks from that cowboy Ronald Reagan, when he killed my adopted orphaned daughter, he was trying to kill me, instead he killed that poor innocent child. Then I helped my brothers and sisters from Africa with money for the African Union. I did all I could to help people Understand the concept of real democracy, where people's committees ran our country. But that was never enough, as some told me, even people who had 10 room homes, new suits and furniture, were never satisfied, as selfish as they were they wanted more. They told Americans and other visitors, that they needed "democracy" and "freedom" never realizing it was a cut throat system, where the biggest dog eats the rest, but they were enchanted with those words, never realizing that in America, there was no free medicine, no free hospitals, no free housing, no free education and no free food, except when people had to beg or go to long lines to get soup. No, no matter what I did, it was never enough for some, but for others, they knew I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the only true Arab and Muslim leader we've had since Salah-al-Deen, when he claimed the Suez Canal for his people, as I claimed Libya, for my people, it was his footsteps I tried to follow, to keep my people free from colonial domination - from thieves who would steal from us. Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military history, my little African son, Obama wants to kill me, to take away the freedom of our country, to take away our free housing, our free medicine, our free education, our free food, and replace it with American style thievery, called "capitalism" ,but all of us in the Third World know what that means, it means corporations run the countries, run the world, and the people suffer. So, there is no alternative for me, I must make my stand, and if Allah wishes, I shall die by following His path, the path that has made our country rich with farmland, with food and health, and even allowed us to help our African and Arab brothers and sisters. I do not wish to die, but if it comes to that, to save this land, my people, all the thousands who are all my children, then so be it. Let this testament be my voice to the world, that I stood up to crusader attacks of NATO, stood up to cruelty, stoop up to betrayal, stood up to the West and its colonialist ambitions, and that I stood with my African brothers, my true Arab and Muslim brothers, as a beacon of light. When others were building castles, I lived in a modest house, and in a tent. I never forgot my youth in Sirte, I did not spend our national treasury foolishly, and like Salah-al-Deen, our great Muslim leader, who rescued Jerusalem for Islam, I took little for myself... In the West, some have called me "mad", "crazy", but they know the truth yet continue to lie, they know that our land is independent and free, not in the colonial grip, that my vision, my path, is, and has been clear and for my people and that I will fight to my last breath to keep us free, may Allah almighty help us to remain faithful and free. -- Mu'ummar Qaddafi.

I am also surprised about the 'good image' that was suppressed deliberately by the media: http://factspy.net/the-gaddafi-no-one-will-tell-you-about/ Sometimes I do wonder if indeed a full democracy *or* a semi-democracy/semi-socialism is good for the population. But who is to say - may be a little dictatorship is good for some Countries ?? Because democracy opens up doors not for the leader to loot - but also his ministers and cronies to loot, a form of dictatorship narrows down the number of looters.. A good dictatorial view like Gaddafi's farming and housing schemes can push a Country forward, a bad decision can pull it backwards. Look how long Obama has taken *'debating'* with Congress whether an affordable health-care system is good for Wananchi ? That being said; the mistake Gaddafi made was to over-stay his welcome. Yes he did good, but he should have prepared to be on his way out, by beginning a filtering process to identify a leader who has similar views (except the manic part of cos [?] ) to take over from him.

dictatorship is good for a country only if you are among the ruling class - period! ./Ok3ch On Wed, Oct 26, 2011 at 12:18 PM, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com>wrote:

Apparently, that is the hard part every dictator finds himself in even after decades of 'fruitlessly' searching for a successor. You remember M01 saying "nimeangalia hawa wote sijaona mtu". That is just in the nature of a dictator. -- <http://neno.co.ke> Ndungi Kyalo neno.co.ke ~ Your word O Lord, lights my path. <http://neno.co.ke>

I once watched "Apologies of an Economic Hitman", a documentary based on John Perkin's "Confessions of an Economic Hitman". Gaddafi's claims on capitalism do echo John Perkin's description of the same, making the Libyan people (who were against Gaddaffi's rule) big time losers. This is but an opinion. Feel free to agree disagree. Me. On 26 October 2011 18:08, Dickson Kimathi <dhikims@gmail.com> wrote:

The ONLY mistake Gadaffi did is to call himself "Lord of Lords"/King of Kings - period. That is when his judgement started. The ONLY Lord of Lords is Jesus Christ. Wilson. On 26 October 2011 22:42, Simon Mbuthia <simon.mbuthia@gmail.com> wrote:
