The theater of the absurd

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

Thank you Dr. Pipes for this little gem

A Turkish PM who is a despot (and who would put people in jail for stating that there was really an Armenian Genocide) accepts ja'zat al-qadhafi al-dawliyya lihuquq al-insan (al-Qadhafi international prize for human rights) from al-Qadhafi who is no more than another despot!
