Just steal an armoured vehicle and do doughnuts in the streets.
I would pay to see that.
I saw that on TV yesterday as well, A civilian was doing doughnuts in a BMP.

Supposedly (and this is Richard Engel talking again), at the end of his big rally speech about fighting for dignity and petroleum (seriously), Qaddafi then insisted, demanded, that the loyalists who turned out to see him sing and dance.

I command you to dance!  No really.  No, really.

It kind of makes sense actually. I mean, the only reason why anybody in the entire world still cares what this asshole (I'm not even going to attempt to spell his name) has to say is that the things that he says are so goddamn ridiculous...

The US and the EU prepare for swift and immediate action : if everyone agree they will establish TRADE SANCTION.
Tremble Kadhafi, for you're about to feel our wrath.  :'(

Personally, I feel that the fact that the UN hasn't tried to step-in in any meaningful manner does have the underappreciated upside that [Not even going to attempt to spell his name] now has a much better chance of being hacked to pieces, or shot to ribbons, or blown to smithereens by pissed off protesters instead of merely being hanged or something for crimes against humanity.

Last I've heard, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is discussing providing humanitarian aid to the areas in control by the rebellion. The only reason that the UN is powerless to do anything is that they can only do anything with the permission of the Russians and the Chinese.

NATO is not thusly restrained.

Yeah, but HE at least still has people who have to listen to him. Kim Jong Il can still command respect through fear, whereas Qaddafi, now that most of his army is gone, is basically nothing more than an abnormally ineffective evil clown....

Kim Jong Il's moods do what?!?!?!?!

In that case can Queensland blame everything on him?

Everybody is taking every pretext to send troop near Libya. Just hope they will use them well. Thing are going sour in Ivory coast.
Tunisian say vigilant, huge protest yesterday against the return in power of olds regime officials, same thing in Egypt.

Yes the thing about the Ivory Coast, I've heard they've had major bank runs in recent weeks.  They could be next.

The problem is, how do you tell unrest in Cote d'Ivoire from the *regular* f**ked-up situations in Cote d'Ivoire? That whole section of West Africa has massive issues for countries so tiny.

Cameroon had a major state-owned bank collapse and unlike in the West, there's no such thing as an FDIC. People who put their money in that bank? POOF. It's gone. Now you wanna talk about something that will start a revolt...however, the one protest last Friday was poorly organized and announced far enough in advance that the police had plenty of time to prepare security measures.

Right now, my thought is that Syria or Bahrain will be the next one to have a major escalation. Although Iraq had a day of major protests yesterday, I don't see the US allowing Iraq to go to Hell in a handbasket after we've just spent the last seven years trying to un-break it.
