I was under the impression that NATO wasn't targeting houses?

Officially they're targeting military institutions, they just happen to be the same institutions where Gadaffi sleeps on any given night.
 
I love how quickly the mission has changed from protecting citizens from immediate harm, to helping the rebels win militarily, to assassinating Gaddafi.

Mission Creep was bound to happen.
 
Its obvious the only way Gaddafi will go is if he dies and NATO will most likely do it. All this pussyfooting around to get to the ultimate goal is just a waste of everyone's time including Gaddafi's. Do something substantial or get the fuck out and leave them to there own faith.

When Gaddafi dies leadership will just be passed on to his sons and/or whoever is next in the chain of command.

Whats the deal with Arab and Islam being part of peoples names?

Never heard of anyone called Christian? Speaking about names, married women there do not take up their husband's surname. Some things are different in other parts of the world

It's only the case with Gaddafi's sons.

No. Having the name 'Islam' is quite common. Fun fact
Jihad is also a name

Fuck Gaddafi. Shouldn't have started killing civilians. Shouldn't have kept doing it. Shouldn't have stayed.

If he doesn't want to be next, he knows how to surrender and so do his sons.

So fuck Gaddafi and fuck his sons.

That's because a woman's surname there gives precedence to the father and grandfather. You can't change who your father and grandfather was, so they don't change it. The patriarchal dominance is still there, however.

The only surprise in any of this is those who genuinely believed this was a purely humanitarian expedition. We're now training rebels - essentially intervening in a civil war of another country Public interest will eventually go down after the lack of talk of F16's and Tomahawk technical specs and media graphics showing their range. In other news, fashion experts all agree: Kate Middleton's dress was stunning.
 
Washington Post
The walls of an adjacent building were partly destroyed. In one room, a television was still turned on, and a pile of PlayStation games lay on a sofa, including Modern Warfare 2 and Fifa Soccer 10.

A pair of Homer Simpson slippers was half buried in the dust, and fruit lay in a bowl near a small green flag of the regime.

In a childrenÂ’s bedroom next door, half an apple, clearly cut earlier in the evening, lay on a table between two beds.

Ibrahim did not identify the children killed or mention their ages.

In another building, there were smears of blood on a shattered mirror on the floor of a room that looked like a den, with a large flat-screen television on one wall and a bar in a corner. A childrenÂ’s book was also lying on the ground
sad.

He looks like a cross between Fred Armisen and Mickey Rourke. How the hell does someone like that find a double?


doesn't take much with a little plastic surgery here and there plus his long hair and his facial hair pretty much covers some of his MORE defining qualities.

And how did it came to be that in our society women adopt their husbands surname after marriage? I don't disagree about the patriarchal comment; I just wanted to focus on the naming aspect of it

They killed the kids and grandchildren of gadaffi now?
What kind of threat did they pose for anyone?
They were playing Mature-rated video games like Call of Duty despite being under the age of 18. They would have grown up to be foul-mouthed assassins.

Oh, I know. I just wanted to give out some general info on it, since I a lot of people ask me about it, lol.

It symbolizes that under marriage, she now belongs more to him/his family than to her own family, or to put it more bluntly, ownership of her was transferred. It symbolizes that his commands or wishes take precedent over her father's, mother's, etc.
