The world’s most whacked out Islamic strongman, “Colonel” Muammar Gaddafi, is visiting Portugal with his all-grrrl bodyguard squad, and announced today at Lisbon University that the United Nations Security Council is a dictatorship.
Escorted by muscular female bodyguards dressed in desert-colored khaki and caps, Gaddafi criticized the current United Nations structure in which five countries — the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia — have veto powers.
He said the U.N. General Assembly, at which virtually all of the world’s states are represented, should be the executive body of the global organization, not the smaller Security Council.
“Why are we asking for democracy in countries, when there is dictatorship in the U.N. (and) if we can’t establish democracy in the world parliament,” he told academics and diplomats.
Dressed soberly in black, Gaddafi blamed this lopsided distribution of global power for fomenting tension and terrorism, such as the September 11, 2001, attacks against the United States which he described as “frightening”.
“It was an act of madness but those who committed it were not mad … it was carried out so perfectly that it shook even the United States,” said the Libyan leader. …
Criticizing what he called the “political bankruptcy” of global politics, Gaddafi said the fate of the world was being decided by around a dozen individuals.
“So why are we surprised if there is a reaction. … Some choose to bang their heads against walls but others hijack planes and do what we have seen,” he said, referring to the 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.
