....Of course it is the money. Gaddafi leads an oil rich country and he is known to be very generous with his country's cash. Plus, Libyan companies are fanning out all over Africa doing business and making mega investments...

You cannot possibly be serious. You couldn't be more wrong. How can this cash that is "paid" with insults, abuse, and disrespect, and indignity possibly be called generous. That is NOT generous by any measure or standard. Far from it this money like most money is given with strings attached. Wake up; does the phrase - there is no free lunch - ring a bell ? Crooks like Qaddafi prey on these illegimate governments of failed states. That is why he can abuse them with impunity. Being told you came to power as a "revolutionary" that needn't just walk away is not a honor. It precisely says you have no peoples mandate so why should anybody or Qaddafi for that matter have any respect for you. Just as thieves have no respect for thieves, crooks have respect for crooks. And you are right in the larger scheme of things Qaddafis ultimate ulterior motive is to provoke a religious fight. Why else would he include disparagingly incediary remarks about the Bible and its teachings on an Easter Weekend at that ? This has less to do with money but more with religion. These socalled poor countries need to be vigilant.
