It was to be a human shield, a massive gathering of Moammar Kadafi's supporters at his Bab Azizia compound, and the Libyan leader was to give a late-night speech of defiance against the international forces arrayed against him.

They would stand by their beloved Brother Leader at the same compound destroyed by President Reagan's airstrikes in 1986. Even if the bombs came sailing down. Even if the entire place went up in flames.

"I'm here to support Moammar Kadafi and to oppose the threats of the West," said Ghazal Muftah, a 52-year-old grandmother in a camouflage army jacket and hijab, or head scarf, among about 400 or so gathered around the ruler's vast and well-protected residence. "If they want to hit Moammar Kadafi, they have to hit us. We are all Moammar Kadafi."

So what if they bomb?" he said. "We never get scared. If there was any fear, these people would never come here."

"We are here," said medical student Salah Mohammad, 24, "to be with the leader of our revolution, even if we die."

Cellphones began to ring. A hush fell over the crowd. People began to whisper to one another: Cruise missiles were being fired at Tripoli. Those sitting in a grassy area quickly got up and began heading for the exit.

More followed, until the human chain thinned to a few dozen people standing in the chill before the balcony where Kadafi was supposed to address them.

But the Brother Leader was nowhere to be seen. He would address Libyans later by telephone, from an undisclosed location.

I'm not gung ho. Although my sympathy is with the rebels, I think it's an internal affair of Libya.

How late did you have to wait before you decided to go home when he failed to show, or were you one of the "early exiters"

What are you talking about?

So if the international community is so concerned about the average Libyan civilian and is trying to save them, why was/is nothing done about Mugabe???

Mugabe isn't a threat to Libyan civilians.

No oil in Zimbabwe? </cynic>

At least no revolution or civil war going on in Zimbawe.

I have been enlightened. I believe it is simply more evidence that truth is stranger than fiction. I don't know all of the details, however I was talking to my brother well before, the invasion, and I said jokingly that we may have to kill Sarkosy after this deal is done because of what a fascist he is proving to be. Many people remember that he decided to ban Berkas in public in France. I don't know all the dynamics but it sounds a little over the top in a democratic society. Apparently he approached the Prime Minister of Germany, and suggested to her that the Germans should also get in on this Rodeo. When she refused It has been revealed that he was ready to go it alone. Personally if that is the way a leader of a modern society feels it is more than a little amazing to me. Maybe (because his country has such a large population of Muslims) this may be part of his motivation. I have a contingency plan. I thought I pasted it but for some strange reason it disappeared. It is not outside the realm of possibility that I only dreamed it. The scenario goes something like this:
Offer all French Muslim women their Berkas back and give them a choice. Take your Berka and get back to the country I just liberated for you. Or, get a Brazilian Wax, put on a thong and have casual sex like proper French women do :)

BTW What kind of a French name is Sarkosy?
