I'm on the fence between being repulsed at some of the juvenile reactions to hundreds of people being massacred as we type, or impressed that the issue is at least being discussed on here.
Guess that's just the two sides of the same coin.

Kind of hard not to laugh at least a little at Gaddafi...
And his over the top actions probably helped create the situation. Remember there was a Wikileaks cable late last year about some Ukrainian nurse he always travelled with who is supposedly his mistress.
- nah, just overspill of Egypt and the fact that people there are fucking broke and he's got more oil than any other Africachilamont

Funny enough, we have some friends that moved to Malta last year and are hoping to maybe go there this summer. Most people I tell that to have no idea where it is or that it even exists.
Thanks defecting Libyan pilots for putting Malta on the map!

I have hugely mixed feelings with respect to the events in the Middle East and northern Africa in recent times.
On the one hand, the thought of dictators ruling with an iron fist for 40 years is just mind boggling.
Equally, I'm worried what type of democracy these countries will be left with once all these dictators are booted out. Most western democracies have had hundreds of years to morph the best form of government, yet most of these newly democratised places will be in a state of chaos for years I would have thought.

Well, lets face it no one would care except for oil. Thats really the main concern from a Western point of view isn't it, maintaining the stability of the world energy market.
