This could get ugly. Gaddafi wants to be King of Africa. And from somewhere he has acquired a functioning brain. Our biggest advantage against this type of ambition was that we may be dumb but they are flat out morons.

Case in point Mugabe's little death spiral. He will soon not have a country or population at all. They will either leave or be dead. A little bit of thought and he could have had a reasonable amount of power in southern Africa. Now he is going to end up with nothing.

Gaddafi is another matter. And I foresee heap big trouble coming down the pike. I hope I am wrong. I would love to be wrong. I fear I am not.

Isn't this something like the way Cromwell screwed up North and South Ireland? Paying off debts with land for newcomers?

Oh no! What about the poor war veterans on whose behalf Mugabe has been working to seize the land? That is what it's all about, right? ;)
