The cause of Democracy in Arabia is being hindered by alcohol.
Yesterday, Seif al-Islam el-Qaddafi, the male issue of Libyan "strongman" Muammar el-Qaddifi, blamed the recent upsets in the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya (I did not make that up, that is the official name of Libya, and no, I don't know what "Jamahiriya" means. Neither do I care what it means.) on "drunks, criminals and foreigners."
Today The New York Times reports in an article based on an interview with Yadh Ben Achour, a lawyer, and head of Tunisia's High Political Reform Commission that there will be no presidential election in Tunisia on March 15 (said election being required by Tunisia's constitution). "It would be impossible to organize before March 15 deadline, [Mr. Ben Achour] said," according to the Times.
"We might lose our freedom because we become too drunk on freedom," Mr. Ben Achour was quoted as saying.
Ahh. Yes, I understand that.
