Take the money and run!!!!

OK so Libya is in revolt, the protests started some two weeks past have turned to violence and bloodshed. Those opposed to the Libyan government openly carry arms and have been so bold as to take over two cities in the east of that country. Something unheard of two decades ago, plays out on our televisions and computers as the people of that land call for change.

Yet even though the rest of the world, through the technology of the internet, can see what is going on, Libya’s Leader Muammar al-Qaddafi, denies the existence of any rebels. He has stated that his people love him and that those who are causing all the trouble are foreign Al-Qaida operatives, in other words terrorists. He has vowed to crush the foreign led uprising as it exists to “fight to the last man or woman”.

It is evident to me that Mo-Mo, has lost a bit of good old common sense over the forty one years he has ruled Libya. The basic lesson of power is lost on him and sadly that fact will cause many to die.

Power, like everything is fleeting and you only have as much power over anyone as they give you. Be that an individual or a nation. Once people no longer decide to grant you power it no longer exists, it is that simple. And even if Mo-Mo believes he can through force, retain the power of rule he will be sorely mistaken, because even if he wins his bloody war he loses. The world is already lining up against him, the UN (Useless do Nothings) has begun investigating possible crimes against his people, Leaders across the globe are urging him to step down. So if he subdues the rebellion what will be the world’s reaction?  I can guarantee one thing Mo-Mo will be facing a court of inquiry at the very least and a worldwide embargo at the worst. Even his friend Hugo Chavez will likely walk away if that happens.

No Mo-Mo should simply “Take the money and run” before it’s too late.

Take your Billions of dollars and buy a nice island somewhere, live a life of luxury and leisure, maybe write a nice memoir, Titled “Warm and fuzzy: my life and rule in Libya.” What more could a man want? I sure as hell would be happy to retire to some warm place where I need not worry about anything but what the chef will be preparing for the evening meal. Hell, I bet Mo-Mo could even do a bit of consulting work with the new government if he left on decent enough terms. Get out now while you have the chance, this is a lose/lose situation and there is only one way out for you and yours.

So Mo-Mo, leave off giving interviews and Shut Yer Bake!

Take the money and RUN!!!!
