« Those Who Abstained in Libya Vote | Main | Arab League's More Active Role » Qatar: Opposition in Libya is Legit
By Micah Halpern
Tuesday March 29, 2011 I've Been Thinking: Yesterday Qatar declared that they will recognize the opposition in Libya. Qatar will recognize the people who are running a rebellion against Libya from the Eastern port city of Benghazi. The significance of the act cannot be understated. The Arab world never liked Ghadaffi, but they appreciated his in your face tone to the West. He was the bad boy. Despite his brutality and tyrannical style he was the perfect instrument to shoot back at the West. We need to track other countries and monitor their responses. Will anyone else jump on the band wagon? Psychologically, it is helpful for the opposition to see this - but for Qatar it is very dangerous. What happens if Ghadaffi does not fall? Qatar could be skewered. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. 4 June 2017 12:13 PM in Thoughts
