Gee, I hope they did not name a position of chaired professorship after Gaddaffi. For example, “Muamar Gaddafi Professor of Political Science.” That would be hilarious.

Actually, I hope that they did name a Chair as “Muamar Gaddafi Professor of Law and Ethics.” UK is a horrible place. They come up with all sorts of idiotic socialist ideas, ALWAYS help Muslims (whether it is in favor of Palestine or Pakistan or Al Qaeda) and hate America. They are NOT our natural allies. I fail to understand why many people here think of UK as our allies. When I think of UK, I think of socialism.
