Gaddafi: Why is no one helping me fight terror in Libya?

Libyan leader says he is surprised that the world doesn't see that he is preventing war throughout the Mediterranean.

PARIS - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said in a French newspaper interview released on Sunday that he was embroiled in a fight against terrorism and expressed dismay at the absence of support from abroad.

"I am surprised that nobody understands that this is a fight against terrorism," the longtime autocrat of the North African oil-producing state told the Journal du Dimanche in excerpts of an interview due to be published later on Sunday.

"Our security services cooperate. We have helped you a lot these past few years. So why is it that when we are in a fight against terrorism here in Libya no one helps us in return?"


Gaddafi, who has ruled Africa's fourth largest country since a 1969 coup, faces an unprecedented popular uprising that has seen rebel forces assert control over Libya's east and loosen his grip in the west near the capital Tripoli.

Western leaders have denounced what they say has been Gaddafi's brutal, bloody response to the uprising, and the International Criminal Court said he and his inner circle could be investigated for alleged crimes committed against civilians by his security forces.

Gaddafi, who spoke to journalists from his headquarters in Tripoli, said Islamic holy war would engulf the Mediterranean if the insurrection in Libya, inspired by successful pro-democracy uprisings in neighboring Egypt and Tunisia, succeeded.

"There would be Islamic jihad in front of you, in the Mediterranean," he said. "Bin Laden's people would come to impose ransoms on land and sea. We will go back to the time of Red Beard, of pirates, of Ottomans imposing ransoms on boats."

Gaddafi added that his government was "doing well" despite the armed turmoil and warned Europe against an influx of Libyan migrants to its shores if his foes drove him from power.

Many dictatorships around the world have rode on USA policy of fighting against terrorism to suppress their own people to the bones such as Hun Sen, Burma'leaders and korean'leaders. They are indeed all terrorist against their own Nation.

The problem of Kadhafi is because he doesn`t know that he is a dictator . And the people around him never dare to talk about the reality to him that why he is thinking all people in the country still love him. There are not only kadhafi felt this kind of sentiment .In fact most of the dictators in the world think also like him, even Hun Sen .

Gadhafi said," he is fighting against
with terrorists, how come the world do not help me".
So,what? Who are you?Do you know who
you are? Asked yourself.
Are you a dictator?
You knew what you knew the ones you
did not know you still did not know.
Because you are greedy power;you are
fault;and you are dull.
You are treating Libyans so bad.
So,the world are watching you with
both eyes.
Gadhafi,your time is almost up now.
You have little air to breath.
Will you step down or you want the
world catching alive and put in jail all the rest of your life.
Ah Hun Sen has the same problems as
Ah Gadhafi.
The dictators are greedy power and
money.They always are doing evil deed.
Hun Sen time is up too;the world will not help him.Hun Sen is fighting terrorist,but the terrorist is himself.
Today you are still glad,but the next month,year you'll be dead.
The 90% Khmer people won't love you.
Why you election every five years?
You were cheating to win.You knew it too,but you ignored it.
The evil deed comes to take your soul to hell.

Time has been changed,even days,
months of the years.Every people mind
has been changed 50,000 times in 24
hours.
During Pol Pot regime,what countries
were the boss and friends with Khmer
Rouge? There were many Chinese trucks
and personnel lived in Khmer Rouge regime,they carried rice and tons and tons.
The North Korea,the Cuba and other
communist countries.
Did communist countries care about
Khmer people?Even Thai,Lao,and Vietnam,they did not care about Khmer too.
These three neighbors were bad also.
The UN and the FREE WORLD,how come
they did not come to intervene in
Khmer business?
The world has two blocks:The communist and the FREE WORLD.
They compete each other for their
businesses .
The Pol Pot era was different from
this era.Wait and see.
People should keep their eyes on Libya.How they can do? Do they ignore like Pol Pot era?
The Pol Pot regime closed the outside door and beaten or killed Khmer people.
In February,Hun Sen said,"I close the door and beat the dogs".
Hun Sen will kill Khmer people for
Yuon.Can he do it?
Will Khmer rise up before too late
or let Hun Sen kill like dogs?
Will the world watch and help Libya
or Cambodia or not?
Will Khmer people help themselves or wait for the world come to rescue?
Will Vietnam come to rescue?
No,she comes to kill and take over
and fully control like Lao,Champa,and Khmer Krom.
