I read
recently of the interesting events happening in Libya: kidnappings, murders,
torture, theft, rape, pillage, drowning, car bombings, no trash pickup, missing
kids, and other things that happen in any country. However, it appears as though dual citizenship
and Libyans marrying foreigners is at the top of the Libyan agenda at least
when it comes to the new congress.
You have got
to be kidding me. The new speaker of the
Congress probably was or is a dual national or at least was a legal resident of
the USA. This fixation on having more
than one passport or being married to a foreigner is rather archaic and narrow
minded at best. Do they really think
that people who were forced to flee Libya due to Gaddafi and therefore had to
seek refuge in another country want to go back to Libya and take over?
The
honeymoon period for the new government is still in effect but as the recent
bombings show, time is going to run out sooner or later and if the new regime
doesn't improve things quick, there is going to be further problems in
Libya. I really do hope things get
sorted out before too long so I can really enjoy my first trip back in twenty
years.
I want to go
to Libya and visit my relatives and friends without having to worry about my
womenfolk being harassed. I want to
stroll the boardwalk and streets without having to pack heat and without having
to draw a weapon on some fool who thinks he knows what time it is. The time in Libya is now the time to grow up
and act like a proper nation and not be a paranoid nut house as it was under
Gadaffi. I know it will take time, but
let's get going people.
