Unless Libyans are completely different from the citizens of other dictatorships, they will have seen those remarks and, depending on temperament, would have laughed, sighed or paid absolutely no attention. They would not have seen it as any sort of “endorsement”. I mean, just take another look at it: “The Tunisian A`shoruok newspaper quoted his statements in which [Murphy?] underscored that the Third Universal Theory was characterized with the deep connotations of the thought of Muammar Al-Gathafi , and the new thought he advocates. He said “The Green Book carries wonderful breath taking thoughts, especially that this intellectual product which carries deep thoughts and visions, came from a Leader at a youthful age”.Gibberish, sheer gibberish – and most Libyans, I suspect, know it.
