Muammar al Gaddafi

We are telling the American people to have patience, courage, resolve and determination.

Libya has had to put up with too much from the Arabs for whom it has poured forth both blood and money.

We have been terrorised by what happened in America and we express our condolences to the American people who suffered from this unexpected catastrophe and a new world war.

Nations whose nationalism is destroyed are subject to ruin.

There must be a world revolution which puts an end to all materialistic conditions hindering woman from performing her natural role in life and driving her to carry out man’s duties in order to be equal in rights.

I cannot recognise either the Palestinian state or the Israeli state. The Palestinians are idiots and the Israelis are idiots.

The times of Arab nationalism and unity are gone forever.
