 Gadaffi may find that the goalposts have been moved | International | The Observer
Gadaffi's revolution was founded on a blend of anti-imperialism, Arab nationalism and his own brand of Islamic radicalism: ingredients that have admittedly provided a recipe for confrontation with the West, but that have proved surprisingly responsive to the evolving political situation over the past three decades.
As a young revolutionary, Gadaffi's role model was Nasser and for his first few years in power he looked to Egypt as the vanguard of Arab nationalism.
Gadaffi may well have concluded that WMD confer no real benefit to Libya: ending the programmes earns brownie points from the US and doesn't hinder Libya's ambition to be a regional power in Africa, where, unlike the Middle East, WMD bestow no real strategic advantage.

And Gadaffi's footballing background in Libya is an erratic one: family connections and vice-presidency of the country's federation assured his captaincy of the national team.
Gadaffi has also put himself forward for a place on Fifa's executive committee, and is leading an optimistic bid to host the 2010 World Cup in his father's fiefdom.

 Gadaffi scolds Libyans for reliance on oil | Oil Depletion Protocol
The criticisms, in an unusual series of speeches in July and August, have stirred keen interest in a forthcoming annual September 1 address to the nation of five- million marking the 1969 coup d'etat that brought him to power.
Reformist rhetoric is nothing new from Gadaffi, but Libyans say it is unusual for such speeches to be made so frequently and to such a wide variety of audiences -- from professional groups and state planners to teachers and religious students.
The second is that Gadaffi's economic outspokenness is now being regularly echoed in public by his son Saif al-Islam, the most high profile of his children whose public statements have focused mainly up to now on social policy and foreign affairs.

Without Gadaffi's Semtex the IRA could not have trashed Canary Wharf and the heart of Manchester.
But if they are of a mind to make a painful political compromise then surely the sight of one of the Paisleys bringing money for the victims and humiliating Sinn Fein on the world stage would have sweetened the moment for them.
Still, Gadaffi could have been strong-armed last week into giving a billion pounds to a fund for the victims of violence in Northern Ireland, violence to which he contributed more than anybody, and the moment was lost.

In Libya, 100 lashes of the whip; for pregnant women, execution is postponed to two months after birth.
Actually, Gadaffi himself needs no coaxing; he accuses his fellow Arab dictators of treachery because the embargo is allegedly not enough, and with superb logic, he is merrily selling his oil.
It is neither Israel nor the other industrialized countries who are primarily being hurt, but the underdeveloped countries which cannot afford the sheiks' astronomical prices for oil; and worse, the resulting skyrocketing prices of fertilizer may ruin the Green Revolution, exposing these countries to a very real threat of starvation.
