To what avail?
That will not bring peace and stability to the country and Gaddafi is
definitely not coming back, at least not yet, but maybe after the
resurrection, to reign as King of Kings of Africa for a thousand and
forty-two years?
Whatever happened to Mahatmajji and Satyagraha?
Whatever happened with the ideals of non-violence and the Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King?
Whatever happened to Syria?
Whatever happened to Unity as an ideal?
Gaddafi Jnr. will plead not guilty of course and his trial in Libya
should not cost as much or take as long as an ICC trial in arriving
at a verdict....

At least the racist Benghazi Arab Libyan Bandits know how much the non-western world hates the ICC and have decided not to hand over Saif to the racist court. Saif's capture is a setback, but the struggle of our Afrikan Libyan people will continue through the more than 100 armed groups.Libya says Gadhafi son to be tried at home
