Subject: RE: BS: Middle East Unrest
I've just been watching the news coverage of this, hearing a local doctor saying there are too many dead to be counted, and how horrified she is at what's happening over there...

The newscasters can't believe it either, yet...Col. Gadaffi's been off his rocker since he came into power, imo.

I think, of all the dictators who are about to fall Gadaffi will be the one who'll hang on the longest and do the most damage to his people.

I hope I'm proved wrong though, because it takes incredible guts to stand up against a man so off the planet as Gadaffi is....and his troops have been brainwashed for a very long time, but maybe they'll draw strength from the Egyptian Army and end up protecting the people, rather than killing them in vast numbers as they're now doing.

May Allah have mercy on those poor people, and may their sacrifices not be in vain...Inshallah
