Libyan dictator Muammar Ghaddafi of the many-spellings last name says he won’t attend the Arab summit meeting because it’s a waste of time.
Libya won’t attend the upcoming Arab summit in Saudi Arabia, the Libyan foreign minister said Sunday, adding that the Arab world “is not serious” and that “joint Arab action is dysfunctional.”
“Arab joint action is marred by disorder,” Libyan Foreign Minister Abdel-Rahman Shalqam said at Arab League headquarters in Cairo Sunday.
“Libya is insisting on a real Arab mechanism – not policies of axes, groups and unilateral changes to decisions,” an angry Shalqam said.
Okay, the guy is totally nuts, and just tried to execute foreign nurses and doctors for [insert eye roll] giving AIDS to Libyans (instead of owning up to how the HIV got there in the first place)—but he’s right about the Arab summit, and hey, it’s fun to laugh at these idiots fighting among themselves. It’s especially worthwhile on Purim.
In fact, the inability of the Arab and Muslim states to forge any kind of permanent peace has always been one of Israel’s greatest advantages. May it stay that way forever.
