Muammar Al Qadhafi, o Grande Democrata

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi lectured a U.S. audience on democracy on Thursday (...) He touted Libya's political system as superior to "farcical" and "fake" parliamentary and representative democracies in the West."
"There is no state with a democracy except Libya on the whole planet," Gaddafi said to the conference at Columbia University in New York.(...)

Gaddafi said Libya's new openness would not lead Libyans to covet what they do not have -- on the contrary, he said, the rest of the world would soon be emulating Libya.
"Countries like the United States, India, China, the Russian Federation, are in bad need of this Jamahiriyah system," he said. "This is a savior to them."
Challenged by the U.S. moderator about freedom of speech, Gaddafi said every Libyan was free to express his opinions at the congresses and that was a better forum than a newspaper.
