The Bell Curve seems to be about right, though Lybians may be on the lower side, even more than indicated.

Mu'ammar Qaddafi Urges Suicide BombingsReprinted from NewsMax.com

Libyan leader Mu'ammar Qaddafi is urging his people to become suicide bombers as the best defense against an attack on his country by the U.S. or any other major power.
In a rambling New Years Day address recently translated by the Middle Eastern Media Research Institute, the Libyan strongman told his people:
"We don't need missiles, airplanes, tanks, or cannon in order to fight in Palestine or Iraq . . . If the enemy is a superpower like NATO, America, Russia or China, which occupies Libya, I will not fight it with tanks, missiles or cannons. I will fight it with explosives belts, car bombs and Kalashnikovs."
Qaddafi continued:
"If every Libyan is booby-trapped, every car is booby-trapped, every house is booby-trapped and every road is booby-trapped - the enemy will not be able to survive. The enemy will be unable to use their nuclear bombs, their airplane carriers or their inter-continental missiles. They will not be able to use them against people who booby-trap themselves, and fight the enemy."
Moments later, however, the erratic dictator called himself "a liberal" and insisted that he agreed with the U.S. on ridding the world of terrorism.
"Right now, I have nothing against America, except for the fact that it opposes the Palestinian people, and is destroying Iraq. Apart from this, America and I agree on everything . . . . Now America is saying that the oppressive, theocratic regimes that exploit religion are terrorist regimes. It has stopped supporting these regimes in order to topple them. So America and I agree these theocratic regimes must be fought."
But in the next breath Qaddafi added:
"We oppose all types of terrorism. When I say 'all types,' I'm referring to terrorism of fleets, of WMDs, and terrorism by individuals . . . America has said it is against WMDs. I canceled the WMD program, and I demand that America cancel its own WMD program, and that Israelis be disarmed of their WMDs, instead of the [American] silence in their case."
We need Ronnie back.
This guy has had a major screw loose since back in the Eighties when Reagan was slapping him around.
Didn't take long for Ghadafi to discontinue his meds. Pity ... they were working so well.
Uh no. He doesn't have a WMD program now. Who gives a flying rip if he rattles off about suicide bombs if we invade Libya? We have no reason or intention of doing so. Big deal.

Now that is funny...lol. He just does not agree that ruthless dictators should be toppled..(rolling eyes)
-"If every Libyan is booby-trapped, every car is booby-trapped, every house is booby-trapped and every road is booby-trapped - the enemy will not be able to survive.-
I'm for it. With the whole place booby-trapped, we won't even have to go in. They'll kill themselves off quicker than we could (or would).

Hey, Moo-mer, we know where you live.
An armed population, cannot be controlled...a.k.a. the second amendment.
He's learned his lessons from dealing with Reagan and Dubya. He gave up his WMD program and now iis allowing his populace to become armed ( malitia), looks to me as if he wants to sit out the comming regional wide conflict and eventually fade away.
He's looney tunes.
I agree - Muamar was/is talking about something more-
notice how Newsmax doesn't mention Libya's compliance
with the U.S. on WMD's. They turned over close to
( 10 TONS! ) to the U. S. -both Nuclear & Chemical.
and has been cooperating with U.S. & Britain on who
was helping build them.
It still sounds better than 95% of the nutjobs in that area.
Funny how those who preach suicide fail to lead by example.
