Muammar Gaddafi

I am a living example of how a true democracy can function.

I am still alive. I am still here. I am still fighting.

I am a symbol of resistance against imperialism.

America is a terrorist state.

I am the only one who can save Libya.

The people of Libya are with me. They are my children.

I am a man of the people. I live in a tent.

My tent is my home. It is a symbol of my Bedouin heritage.

I am the leader of the world revolution.

I am fighting for the freedom of all oppressed peoples.

The world needs a new political system, a direct democracy.

The problem of democracy in the world is that it is not democracy at all.

All existing systems of government are a falsification of democracy.

The ideal society is one where there is no government.

The world is ruled by a few powerful states, not by the people.

The United Nations is a dictatorship.

I am a victim of a media campaign.

I am a symbol of hope for the oppressed.

The entire world is a village, and I am a villager.

I will never leave Libya. I will die a martyr in my land.
