    Don't be so hard on yourself. It's the "creep" part that's most noticeable. You only come across as "racist" when you preemptively accuse others of racism because you're not interested in the discussion.

    Who is getting paid to write Star Trek books? Certainly not garamet. Would someone proud of that deny who they are on a board like this?

    You're correct. You'll never find a single Trek title by an author named garamet. (Unless you count the history-book-within-a-novel written by Garamet Jen-Saunor in Strangers from the Sky).

    There's also a character named Garamet in Gene DeWeese's novel Engines of Destiny.

    But no novel, tech manual, etc. written by an author under that name.

    Unless you believe a Klingon actually wrote The Final Reflection.

    That would be ‘what do Hamas and Israel have to do with Libya?’ and we can do very nicely without the profanity, thank you.

    You do understand that what happens in one Middle Eastern country impacts its neighbors? Or perhaps you don’t. Your responses in this thread indicate you think each border is hermetically sealed and there is no overlap. Clearly you’ve no future in diplomacy.

    And as garamet observed, it’s odd that you had no objection to others' taking excursions into other topics, yet you continue to be obsessed with her…so blindly that you cannot even remember her name.

    Former Prime Minister of the UK can be characterised as ‘having no life’ only by someone who is barking mad. You poor child!

    As for Mr. Gaddafi, I’m proud to say I never hugged him, I bombed him.

    The Libyan ambassador to the UN, Ibrahim
    Dabbashi - who has defected from the
    regime - tells the BBC that he has been told
    90% Tripoli is now in rebel hands. "We are
    expecting to capture Gaddafi in the next few
    hours and maybe to catch his high officials.
    This is the end of the regime and with the
    fall of Tripoli I think all the other cities will
    follow and all his supporters will give up."

    Additional: Are we sure he's not a Harry Potter character?

    He may be a tyrant and a dictator... but, I must say, he has an interesting fashion sense!

    I thought the rebels were a bunch of unorganized bafoons with rifles and a few RPG's. How the hell did they take Tripoli?

    From what I understand, they (with the help of NATO) smuggled weapons into the city, armed a ton of people and told them to sit tight until the assault started.

    Okay, so Gadaffi is going. But the rebels are less than united.

    A good article.
