Libyan leader demands 7.77 trillion dollars from West - Yahoo! News UK

"7.77 trillion dollars -- that is the compensation the Africans deserve from the countries that colonized Africa."
-snip-
"The Africans will call for that and if you don't give that amount -- 7.77 trillion -- the Africans will go to where you have taken these trillions. They have the right and they will bring the money back," he said.

....so he can stuff it in his pockets?

With all the rampant corruption in the dictatorships in Africa I'm surprised they get any aid money anymore, and I think they shouldn't. All it does is pad the pockets of the thieves as they rape the country and blame the big bad first world nations for their poverty. Sadly most of the citizens believe this straw man argument instead of attacking the root of the problem.

Good luck with that delusion there, I wonder what he would try and invade to get it.

I'd prefer that Mr. Qadddafi reach back a little farther back into history and discuss the introduction of slavery into Africa by the Arabs in the early days of the first Caliphates.

Arab slave trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He might begin by looking up the term "mamaluke." (He's probabaly a descendant of one.)

Mamluk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is nothing so dangerous as a fool armed with half-truths. Especially if he's wearing a dress.

Hmmm...those countries would be Spain, the UK, Portugal, Turkey, Italy, France, Germany, and Belgium. Maybe the Arabs at one point. Not sure.

Anyway, I reckon they can all pony up and handle the tab.

Well, since Idi Amin is dead, there isn't anyone else on the continent of Africa wacky enough to make such a demand.
