The New York Times echoes the propaganda of Qadhdhafi

"The greatest fear — and one on which experts differ — is that Al Qaeda or Libya’s own Islamist groups, which withstood fierce repression and may have the best organizational skills among the opposition, could gain power."  Who in his/her right mind would think that Al-Qa`idah would stand a chance to gain power in any part of the Arab world?  Who has been even paying attention to the redundant pronouncement of Bin Laden and his fellow kooks?  My theory: if Bin Laden did not exist--and he does exist--he would have to be invented by Arab tyrants.
