"Those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad" goes the old saying. Will Gaddafi suddenly sober up now, or is he going to go into a Fuhrer-bunker mode, shouting that he is the King of Kings of Africa all the way to victory or death? Hopefully this will also send a message to Bahrain to stop its own increasingly brutal acts against pro-Democracy protesters in that country. |
