This story certainly makes such a case; I can’t imagine how frustrating living in a society so full of startling contradictions (yeah, i know something similar could be said of the U.S. maybe) must be, but perhaps it’s something people adapt to.

I must admit that I new nothing about the country before reading this – fascinating.

I saw that Lionel Ritchie played at Kadhafi's recent birthday bash. Can someone explain this to me?

Khaddafi likes Lionel Richie, maybe?
