No wonder the Right is looking more appealing by the week.

do tey call "colonialism " sending assaissins suicide bombers where there are childeren and general civilian public? do the call "colonialism " when they kidnap people and planes with civilians- WHO ARE THEY TRYING TO DECEIVE? Did Mr Gadhafi find a place to live in Venezuela?

Woodrow Wilson sowed the seed of "self-determination" at Versaille (1919) by virtue of his Utopian 14 Points. Let's not forget, Nazi Germany used this "self-determination" pretext to demand autonomy for Nazified Sudeten Germans in Czechoslovakia. By means of "self-determination, Hitler convinced the great powers. He invaded the tiny country and it worked. Qaddafi may be right on one point. There may be justifiable terror. For example, Nazi Germany terrorized (terror-bombed) Allied cities; Poland, Rotterdam, London, Coventry, etc. The Allies responded in kind by terror-bombing German cities. Allies returned terror for terror. Terrorism is terrorism. The question is, is terrorism ever justified? One could argue, in light of British complicity in Hitler's genocide against six million Jews of Europe - England utterly refused desperate Jewish refugees into Palestine before, during and after the Holocaust - Irgun's terror against the British might arguably be a defensible response to England's part in the systematic murder of Europe's Jews. Only for Qaddafi or any other tyrant to invent a fictional non-people, calling it a nation deserving "liberty and self-determination" is no different than what Hitler did to the Sudeten Germans living in Czechoslovakia, leading to the Munich agreement, 1938. Furthermore, Israel is not a colonial power. One does not colonize one's own land.
