I really cannot let them get away with this - the idea that NATO and the western world have defeated that nice Colonel Gaddafi with air power which would have achieved nothing without thousands of rebels on the ground all firing off their kalashnikovs into the air. (Where do they get all that ammunition so that they can waste so much of it? When I was out there I only had ten rounds for my rifle and they were often inspected in case I had been selling them.) But what riles me is the idea that we are making Libya safe for freedom and demuckracy just as we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. They might get a little demuckracy by being able to change their governments without bloodshed but they will be subject to the tyranny of the majority who are enslaved by magical superstition - in their case the Islamic religion which allows very little freedom. Bad luck to the rebels. I hope that Dave does not get praised for this as he was on holiday during most of the action.
Peaches are still good:
Gals around here are just like leaches
Play in your orchard and steal your peaches.
I dressed him all up so he could look good,
Now he flirts with all the gals in my neighbourhood;
And now I'm tired of fattening frogs for snakes.
I think Rosetta Howard sang this song. Does anyone know?
