64. I have never read such a bunch of BS in my life
It would be hard for the coming government to do worse than Qadhafi. In one respect, however, they may do just that. EU powers will certainly demand that the new regime hold to their promise to continue Qadhafi's policy of containing immigration from Africa to the EU.

>>Link to that "fact"?

Given the way that some elements in this rebellion have treated black and migrant workers - you know, lynchings and that - the EU can probably have full confidence in the new regime's handling of this remit.

>>The Rebels were attacked by bunches of thugs - arab and black, against whom they fought back. If their skins happened to be black, it was charged as racism.

It always made sense, of course, for the bourgeois elements of the rebellion to scapegoat black workers as the 'alien' elements, the fifth column depended on by Qadhafi.

>>There is definite proof that Gaddafi hired mercenaries from other countries. After the invasion of Tripoli, the documentation is there for all to see. There are a bunch of mercenaries right now helping Gaddafi defend his last holdouts, where 90% of the population in those holdouts are being held hostage because they are pro FF. And what effing "bourgeois elements"?

In government, the temptation to resort to racist hysteria in order to frustrate and divide potential opposition will be magnified many times over.

>>I have seen NO racial hysteria from FFs - only from journalists.

>> Poppycock to the power of 10.
