More on the the previous topic from World Affairs Journal. I thought that this nugget was particularly interesting:
"...the Qaddafi government sent personnel to China without the knowledge of the Chinese government."Wait...what? Is this the same 'Chinese government' that ensures that Google can not function without censorship? That ensures that 99% of the populace doesn't even know that there was an 'incident' in Tiananmen Square? The same government that, when it wants to, can control every minute aspect of its citizens' lives? The same gov't that has the policy (at least in the media that I've read) that for large firms to be successful there needs to be large amounts of graft, corruption, and government collusion...? Yeah...you're right...I bet they had no idea about what was going on with those weapons sales. Also something to keep an eye out for is who purchased all of those gold reserves Gadhafi sold backin April. I mean, 29 tons of gold to 'local traders' as some stories put it seems hard to believe...
