Kadaffi: [No] Violence Against [These] Women!


Lt. Moammar al-Kaddafi, leader of the oppressive, Islamic, terrorist country of Libya, was born in 1942.  He ruled the oil-rich nation since he came to power in 1969 at the age of 27 when he led a military coup against Libya's pro-Western monarchy.

In 1979, the Carter administration placed Libya on a list of states that sponsor terrorism. 

On April 5, 1986, the Reagan administration accused Libyan agents of placing a bomb in a Berlin disco that killed 3 people, including 2 American soldiers.

In response, 10 days later, on April 15, 1986, United States bombed Kaddafi's terrorist facilities, his headquarters, his military assets, and his home; at least 100 civilians died, including Kaddafi's infant adopted daughter.

In 1988, a civilian Pan-Am airliner headed for New York was bombed over Lockerbie, Scotland; 259 people in the airliner and 11 on the ground were killed.

In 1999, Kaddafi turned over the 2 alleged perpetrators of the Pan-Am airliner bombing, one was convicted.

In 2003, Kadaffi had somewhat redeemed himself by agreeing to give up on his nuclear and chemical weapons programs.

... You get the picture ...
                  
Last month, on June 10, 2009, or thereabouts, Kaddafi visited Italy for 3 days securing an apology; an entourage of 200-300 people accompanied him.  The apology was tantamount to a few billion dollars in reparation for Italy's brutal 30-year occupation of Libya in the early part of the 20th century.  Italy will invest $200 million a year during the next 25 years in infrastructure projects in Libya.  Also, student grants and pensions for Libyan soldiers who served alongside Italians during WWII will be doled out.

This was the Wildman's 1st visit to Italy.  He met with people in his Bedouin-style tent which had been set up in the park of a 17th century villa where he was staying.  He also addressed a group of 700 Italian women from the fields of business, politics, and culture.  He wants to "save European women."  (Hmmmm) 

During his stay in Italy, Kadaffi received the royal treatment; he had 40 FEMALE bodyguards.  Many countries are way ahead of the United States in this respect, and behind in other respects.  Somehow, we just can't QUITE put our heads around an inadequate, cowardly, significant-other physically, or emotionally, abusing these female bodyguards.  We want this same self-preservation (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) taught to our women, and girls, of the United States! 

Were the guards Italian, or Libyan?  That is the question.

The next question is, "WHEN DO WE START!?"
