No... but why does a 95 year old man who lost his sanity worry you?

Libya: Col Gaddafi not 'interested' in ruling country anymore

It was a very different Col Gaddafi who spoke to his people on Thursday night, and not just because this time he did not have the cameras with him.

How will America handle the fall of its Middle East empire?

Empires can collapse in the course of a generation. At the end of the 16th century, the Spanish looked dominant. Twenty-five years later, they were on their knees, over-extended, bankrupt, and incapable of coping with the emergent maritime powers of Britain and Holland. The British empire reached its fullest extent in 1930. Twenty years later, it was all over.

Today, it is reasonable to ask whether the United States, seemingly invincible a decade ago, will follow the same trajectory. America has suffered two convulsive blows in the last three years. The first was the financial crisis of 2008, whose consequences are yet to be properly felt. Although the immediate cause was the debacle in the mortgage market, the underlying problem was chronic imbalance in the economy.

Gaddafi millions for Cyprus

NICOSIA – In the midst of the armed uprising, the Gaddafi regime on Thursday transferred €4m to Cyprus for payment of its debts to the Cyprus government and Cypriot businesses.
It is estimated that the Libyan government owes Cyprus a total of €7.5m and the money transfer was confirmed by the Accountant General’s office.
Of the €4m that was transferred from Libya to Cyprus, half a million concerns debts to the Cypriot government and the rest will be distributed accordingly to Cypriot companies that are owed money from Libya.
