Folks;
It never rains but it pours for Brother Leader Gaddafi!!! And now, look who has joined in in castigating the Brother Leader: Russia!!!
I do not see a scenario in which Gaddafi will emerge out of this victorious and rule Libya again happily ever after. But, clearly, he is willing to take Libya down with him... sort of like a scorched-earth policy. A sane person would have spared his (beloved) country all this bombing, carnage and destruction by abdicating and licking his wounds somewhere (maybe in Zimbabwe as Hillary Clinton had suggested at a press conference a month ago). This is not a situation of whether Gaddafi is in the right or wrong. It is a matter of Libya. What we are seeing here is a leader who thinks he is more important than the country he leads. A Laurent Gbagbo type of behavior. The more this Libyan saga drags on, the fewer options will exist for Gaddafi. Right now, already, only maybe 3 countries may be able to take him in: Zimbabwe, North Korea and Myanmar; where he will spend the rest of his life in countries with leaders of the same ilk. He is what Prof. Ayittey would describe as a 'coconut head'; break it open and it is full of insects!
