he is apparently meeting with "really important" think tanks soon and secured funding for an Arabic version of his blawg. SA continues to hurt the world.

It's true that Gaddafi incited strife between Arabs and blacks in Libya to further his interests though.
Cheers.

Sorry, I just have to enter this discussion.

Libya moves to increase wages for civil servants
Salaries in Libya remained frozen for about 25 years under the Mouammar Kadhafi regime and the result is that wages in this North African country do not reflect the GDP of the oil-rich country.
Libya is the second largest producer and exporter of oil in Africa after Nigeria, but has the largest oil reserves on the continent.
Because of low wages, Libyan civil servants do other jobs to augment their primary jobs.
During Kadhafi's iron-hand rule and the absence of civil society organizations, it became a taboo for Libyans to demand higher wages.
The commission has also called for the speedy registration of employees to stamp out double wage earning in the country.

Libya - Budget for 2013
13. The mission welcomed the government’s attempt to contain current expenditures in the 2013 budget and address critical capital expenditure priorities.3 Since the revolution, the level of recurrent spending has been inconsistent with appropriate budgetary prioritization. The 2013 budget shows an overall deficit of LD 4,612 million (4.0 percent of GDP) due to a conservative estimate of hydrocarbon revenues. Hydrocarbon revenues are estimated to be LD 58,397 billion, assuming average crude oil price of $90 per barrel and production of 1.5 million of barrels per day. Nevertheless, the increase in the wage bill continues to undermine fiscal stabilization efforts, given the volatility of oil prices and a narrow nonhydrocarbon tax revenue base, which is estimated at 1.4 percent of GDP in 2013. Compared to 2012, the 2013 budget presents an increase in wages of LD 1,821 million and in subsidies of LD 2,008 million, including an earmarked reserve fund of LD 6,000 million for cash transfers. The mission recommended measures to limit current expenditure, in particular to contain increases in salaries and the number of public employees, as well as streamlining generalized subsidies.

Are you seriously going to agree with the IMF on something?
Or is this some Trotskyist "Stalinist bureaucracy" nonsense?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazonian_Guard
According to Joseph T. Stanik, Gaddafi reportedly employed a cadre of female bodyguards because he believed that an Arab gunman would have difficulty firing at women. However, it has also been submitted by other authors that Gaddafi's female bodyguards were, in reality, just an aspect of the dictator's well-known eccentric showmanship and his fondness of surrounding himself with young women. Gaddafi would usually travel with 15 of his Amazonian Guards assigned to security or housekeeping.
You will support literally anyone as long as they call themselves a socialist.

lol what i said has nothing to do with imf, you virgin
Great, I'm just saying Gadaffi was exactly the kind of person you claim to oppose. His policies had nothing to do with socialist principles, on the contrary he presided over a monopoly capitalist state with 20% unemployment and stagnant wages.
huh? who do i support???????
Hopefully not Gadaffi. No doubt foreign powers are still trying to fuck over the country but Gadaffi was quite good at that too.
i oppose u.s. military interventions on principle but i don't understand gaddafi well enough to support him or not and i never claimed to support him. you just assume everyone here has the same opinion about everything
On 99% of issues this is true actually, I just seem to have found the needle in the haystack.
