Gaddafi's Oddest Idea: Abolish Switzerland

A few weeks ago, Gaddafi submitted a proposal to the U.N. to abolish Switzerland and divide it up along linguistic lines, giving parts of the country to Germany, France and Italy. Although the motion was thrown out because it violates the U.N. Charter, which states that no member country can threaten the existence of another, some Swiss leaders are still concerned that Libya could use its yearlong presidency of the U.N. General Assembly, which began on Sept. 15, to keep up Gaddafi's vitriolic attacks on their country.

    And why not?  That's how we got countries like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, etc.

    This is especially stupid.  Qadaffi seemed on drugs in his interview with Larry King. However, I really don't think he is evil . . . just well intentioned and exceptionally mentally disfunctional. He is no evil demon child like Saddam. Can't help but sympathize with Qadaffi. I like his ideas on "Israetine" {Israel and Palestine becoming one country.}
