Freedom And Dignity

Reader comment on item: Erdoğan and the "Al-Gaddafi Prize"

Submitted by morris wise (United States), Feb 26, 2011 at 20:20

Material wealth means little to Libyan protesters. They might own only the towel on their heads, but what they are in short supply of is freedom and dignity. Gadhafi is a control freak, he would rather be hanged than supply his people with those two basic needs.
