Well, Libya, not the best really.
But the rebels have suddenly come from virtually no-where to breaching Gadaffi's compound. OK, a bit of help from NATO, but this last few days took me by surprise.

It seems obvious that Gadaffi will not remain in power, so why cling on, why be so sadistic and keep fighting when the cause is hopeless,........ or is it.

Always though of Gadaffi as a little misguided rather than an outright evil dictator.

    You have to be a bit careful with that sort of sentiment in Dumfries and Galloway, don't you?

    You do. However, there is quite a body of thought, even from representatives of the Lockerbie victims that Libya was not responsible, just a convenient scapegoat.

    Gadaffi has no grip on reality whatsoever.

    Heard any of his speeches of late?

    He makes Sean Yates sound totally lucid.

    Oh, I feel sure that the public haven't been privvy to the whole truth, but its probably a bit of a stretch to say that the Lybian government wasn't involved at all.
