Democracy is too hard to swallow;;Libya’s leader Moamer Qaddafi, who has led the north African country for 34 years, has again surprised the world by walking out of the Arab summit just hours after arriving in Tunis.

Qaddafi told a press conference here today he disagreed with the agenda of the summit where proposals for democratic reforms were expected to be out forward.

He also called for Libya’s withdrawal from the 22-member Arab League.

So I read your post, and so much of it is blah blah blah it's hard to know where to begin to respond.

You betray history, you betray sacrifices of your nation in last century from Normandy to Vietnam your entire policy has been exporting freedom and democracy and your government is in total variance to what you are saying, you should express these views on a ballot box until that change happens live in the world where you have responsibilities and by your denial nothing changes!

You do not know me, you have no idea of what I have given to my country or the world. Who are you to preach to me? You like to tell people what they "should" do, as if you are a resource for that information. What hubris you have to make these declarations!

You think we exported democracy to Viet Nam? You are sadly misinformed. Actually, it strikes me that you know very little about my country.

You can say that about many a wars, the crime of your President is that he is making the world free from lurking dangers of unseen enemy, you will be amongst the top screamers if anything happens to homeland that why the security was not in place but you security without doing nothing about it, lecturing from distance like Mr. Clinton did created 911, whilst he was lecturing someone was planning, these planners are now in jail or running for their lives and I can see that you consider this to be crime of your President, your political objectives and blindsided attitude has made you devoid of conventional reasoning. In last decade alone an unseen enemy was lurking after your nation and had planned to destroy the entire global economic system, an enemy that was set loose because no one really thought that stone age vandals can bring global economy to a standstill for 10 days. War in Iraq destroys the core of the government that created chaos and confusion in the Middle East, that enslaved millions of those Iraqis whose abuse is killing these liberals, these 40 million Iraqis in violation of Charter of Human rights were being abused, the whole Abu ghrieb prison was infamous for nameless graves 300.000 of them, now that someone has made an effort to change it is indigestible, freedom is chaotic and democracy is difficult but free nations and big nations have a responsibility towards collective heritage of mankind, that is saved by your Presidents actions.

You preach the same line of bull as the administration, that Iraq was in some way linked to the terrorists who attacked us and if you want to believe that, go ahead. I suppose you think we need to go around the world overturning every dictator who abuses his people? Maybe you'd like to see us attack North Korea next, they surely are more dangerous than Iraq. Like all war mongers, you speak loudly and from a safe distance.

You know, if you want to play, you ought to pay. So far all I can see you doing is sitting on the curb and clapping.

So I have a suggestion, why don't you sign up to pay taxes in the United States, and send your children here to join the military so that their blood can be left on the battlefield. Then you can talk about what we "should" do and what we owe the world. Then you can speak with some credibility.
