Gadaffi, an international symbol for peace and understanding.

Qaddafi, symbol for realizing that fighting the world's greatest military and industrial power is a stupid idea liable to get you out of power.

I heard a great joke about that Qaddafi thing.

"Why did we drop so many bombs on Qaddafi? All he had was a bunch of tents! And we MISSED! You'd think a bomb would go right through a tent. But no. We would have had better success if we just had a guy with a baseball bat walk in there and start whacking tents!!!
Whack...OW!
Whack...OW!
Whack...OW!
"Qaddafi?"
"No!"
Whack...OW!
"Where is he?"
Whack..."OW! Three tents down!"
"Hey thanks."
Whack, Whack...OW!"

It's probably better to have seen the actual comedian telling this joke...But I had to relay it [Smile]
