The Arab summit was scheduled to start on Saturday the 29th of March but I didn’t know it until I saw that it has started already on the TV. It was not a normal Saturday as I woke up very late and decided not to go to my office, so I took the remote control of the satellite and started surf the channels.
I was not interested at all to watch the playback of every year’s speech of each Arabic leader during the opening session of the summit, but I knew when I saw the Libyan president, Al-Qathafi, that there might be something interesting from his side as usual. I kept checking the news channels to see Al-Qathafi’s turn to speak and finally it happened.
That president is very funny, he is the only one who came to the summit without a pre-written speech with some idealities, he started to speak about the relations between the Arab countries and how bad are they for the time being, then he talked about his suggestion to start and African-Arabic union, and definitely he wouldn’t miss the Palestinian issue. Until he started to talk about the Iraq it was a normal speech with some ironical phrases. Well, Sadam Hussein’s execution was the start of his comedy; Al-Qathafi was talking to all of the leaders at the conference hall when he warned them that “they might face the same fate” of Sadam Hussein (America’s Old Friend), as he has been executed in front of their and our eyes.
Don’t you think that Al-Qathafi had a point of view?! With all of the irony that Al-Qathafi usually uses in his speeches, but I believe that he is the only Arab leader who talks about facts not idealities. And the only one who emprises to mention the USA in the way he does. That is why he is always described as an “idiot”.
