Muammar al Qaddafi is a very dangerous man. He promotes terrorism, and
|
|
radical causes. He is committed against the U.S, and will help almost
|
|
anyone who is also against the U.S. He is very intelligent and crafty. In
|
|
1969 he led a coup against the Libyan government. He succeeded, and became
|
|
head of state. He is a devoted Muslim. Qaddafi is a person to be read about
|
|
and learned about.
|
|
|
|
As I mentioned above, one of his greatest successes was leading a
|
|
bloodless coup against the Libyan monarchy. He became head of state. He is
|
|
still in power today. Another success is that fact that most Libyans lead
|
|
good lives. All Libyans have a house or an apartment, a car, and most have
|
|
televisions, phones, and recording equipment. The young people are well
|
|
dressed and fed. He has survived many coup attempts against him. His face
|
|
and picture are in most buildings in Libya.
|
|
|
|
He always was devoted to school as a kid. He would take a long hike
|
|
from the desert to school. He would come home only every Thursday, the
|
|
beginning of the Muslim weekend. Then he would go back to school. He was
|
|
the first in his family to be well educated.
|
|
|
|
One of his first goals when he was a child was to join the Libyan
|
|
army. He slowly moved up in rank. It was surprising they even let him in
|
|
the army; he had a long police record. He eventually joined the King's
|
|
police. This was when the idea of a coup attempt came. He did succeed.
|
|
|
|
Qaddafi was born in a tent in the desert 20 miles south of the sea.
|
|
This is a desolate place- burning hot in the summer, and freezing cold in
|
|
the winter. Most people would consider this place to be uninhabitable. His
|
|
father was at the bottom of social level in this very poor country. The
|
|
name of tribe Qaddadfa means in Arabic, " Spitter or vomiter of blood." In
|
|
Qaddafi's early years, in the 1940's there were tank battles in the desert
|
|
and thousands of bombing raids by Germans in Libya. Besides this, in the
|
|
1920's the Italians under Mussolini had conquered Libya for the second time
|
|
and had killed large numbers of women, children and old people. They
|
|
trampled on copies of the Koran, threw men out of airplanes and raped and
|
|
disembowelled women. So the Libyans of Qaddafi generation grew up full of
|
|
hatred and misery. All this helps to explain his mental state.
|
|
|
|
In 1970 Qaddafi and his foreign minister travelled to the Arab
|
|
countries to try to get them to agree to attack Israel because he felt he
|
|
was he was a real leader for all Arabs. He supported the use of terrorism.
|
|
At that time he was friendly with the Egyptian leader Nasser, but after
|
|
Nasser died the new Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat did not like Qaddafi and
|
|
thought he was sick and possessed of the devil. When Qaddafi went to Egypt
|
|
in 1973 he lectured the Egyptians that women should stay in the home and
|
|
that everybody should behave like strict Muslims. The Egyptians didn't like
|
|
this because they were more liberal. So the visit was a disaster. But
|
|
Qaddafi really believed that the masses of Egyptian people were with him so
|
|
he organized 20,000 Libyans to march to Cairo and he thought they would be
|
|
joined by Egyptian people. The Egyptian government blocked all the roads
|
|
between Libya and Egypt with railroad carriages, and allowed only a tiny
|
|
group to go to Cairo.
|
|
|
|
The same thing happened when Qaddafi went to Tunisia and spoke at a
|
|
rally and told the people to unite with Libya. The president of Tunisia was
|
|
listening at home on the radio and rushed to the rally, grabbed the micro
|
|
phone, and "trashed" Qaddafi's unity idea, so to speak. These setbacks made
|
|
him pull away from dealing with established governments and deciding to
|
|
support revolutionaries including the IRA, and Black Power move- ments, and
|
|
all Palestinian terrorists.
|
|
|
|
In the beginning of his power, he used to drive around town in an old
|
|
battered-up Volkswagen, and pick up groceries. But after many coup and
|
|
assassination attempts, he gradually disappeared from public life. After
|
|
the raid of U.S troops in 1986, he was seldom heard from. There were many
|
|
rumors such as that he was dead, or deposed in a coup, or under mind-
|
|
controlling drugs. Libyans told U.S reporters that they no longer had cash
|
|
or food. Slowly Qaddafi was disappearing from everyone's view. His big
|
|
dream of uniting all the Arab world under his power was flushed down the
|
|
tubes. He had flunked the leadership course.
|
|
|
|
His main weakness is that he thinks he conquer all the Arab world. He
|
|
doesn't realize that he is really alone without much support. He has some
|
|
strange personal habits. The CIA reported such things as taking too many
|
|
sleeping pills, wearing make-up and carrying a teddy bear, and refusing to
|
|
sleep on hotel bed- sheets. His physical illnesses include depression,
|
|
difficulty with walking, and various pains. He is not at all faithful to
|
|
his wives. His strength is that he is able to inspire people to follow him.
|
|
He did try to provide food and shelter for the poor people of Libya. He
|
|
weaknesses far outweigh his strengths especially these days because he has
|
|
not been able to reach his goals for Libya and he seems to get more
|
|
unstable all the time.
