US 'damned' as Libya marks deadly 1986 air strikes

TRIPOLI (AFP) - A senior Libyan official damned the United States and said
President George W. Bush was insane, as Libya marked the 20th anniversary of deadly US air raids on the country's two biggest cities.

The remarks by deputy parliament speaker Ahmed Ibrahim were ironic, as Libya is basking in a two-year-old rapprochement with the West and has even invited a leading American soul singer to the commemorative festivities, which started Thursday.

The United States "is a damned country, banished from divine mercy and deserving only of being cursed," Ibrahim said.

The "United States considers its occupation of our countries (Muslim and Arab) to be legitimate and brands as terrorist our resistance" to it, Ibrahim said.

He said George W. Bush was "insane" because the US president "makes all sorts of threats and says all options are open when it comes to the Arab and Muslim worlds, particularly Syria and Iran.

"Who can any longer have confidence in an America that has weapons of mass destruction, that threatens Muslims and insists on Syria leaving Lebanon? Why does the United States not pull its forces out of
Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf?" he asked.

1. I've got to agree with Mr. Ahmed Ibrahim.

If there is a god, he/she is pissed off at us for allowing DimSon to run roughshod over our constitution, our people and the rest of the world. :(

5. There is no God in this equation.

All of this is humanity's doing. The gift of free will carries with it many consequences. If having free will confers upon the person any measure of power, then with that power comes responsibility and the consequences of shirking that responsibility. You can argue God gave people free will, but whether God is pissed or not is irrelevant to the fact that a human started this war, and it will be a war that will be ended by humans.

6. that applies here on earth too

Bush deserves no mercy and deserves to be cursed. Break it down.

And, Bush is insane.
