Morning IV

How are you, Qaddafi? I think, many people looking for Qaddafi--he was lost since the TNC take over of Libya's government. Some of them wanna make sure that this leader of Libya is still alive. And others, wanna deliver him to International Supreme Court [CMIIW] in the name of violation of human right. Well, Qaddafi is one of the most-wanted person in the world. I know Qaddafi, for first time, as a good leader from Middle East. "Good", in Middle East, not always similar with democratic, fairness, respect on human rights, and something similiar with this. It's just simple: authoritarian-less. No more. But it's meaningfull. Authoritarian-less means that the government provides a system can share the power. It's also means the wealth of nation distributes by the government--in many ways--to the people. "Good" also related with promoting women's right. In this term, Qaddafi initiate something called Mu'tamar Sy'ab (People Congress)--we can explore it well in Green Book volume 1. It's not bad idea when compare with other countries: many leader loves to be king, with centered power, rather than shares the power with the prime minister or vice president, and also the people--the true owner of sovereignity and power. Mu'tamar Sya'b provides a system making people to be a decision maker for their life. Rizal Sukma said Libya is better than others petro dollar country in Middle East--Libya is welfare state. The government didn't monopolize the petroleum. Other book said, Qaddafi build many school for women. When it compares with Afganistan now, it's a big thing of course. Women, by Qaddafi's policy, can acces many area even military. Qaddafi did it after succesfully coup d'etat in 1st September 1969. But now everything it's gonna bad. Mu'tamar Sya'b is one system, and decision making is another one. Qaddafi, in the fact, is the center of everything. And the women just supporter. So many people and countries criticize him in the name of democracy. But it'sn not just simple as that. Libya blessed (or cursed?) with petroleum. And, Qaddafi / Libya promotes Uni of Africa. Uni Africa makes Africa well controlled in one system--just like Uni of Europe. It's means, nobody can control Africa without Qaddafi's permission. And nobody access the petroleum also. But, Qaddafi's era is over now. Let us know the TNC works. And we can see what NATO's want from Libya. But, the aspiration of Libyan's people is everything.. Jakarta. 18 September 2011
