afrol NewsSaif Ghaddafi, often referred to as Ghaddafi Jr, made these statements in an interview with Danielle Pergament of the US "men's general-interest magazine" 'GQ', which is to be published on 24 August.
- We don't need Mr Bush to teach us a lesson in democracy, Mr Ghaddafi says in the interview. "We are not the students, and America is not the teacher," he adds, regarding the stated plans by the US administration of President George Bush Jr to teach Arab countries American values of democracy. This US scheme lost much of its credibility after the prisoners' ill treatment scandals in Iraq, Guantánamo and Afghanistan. ..
But being the West's favourite among Libyans has not made Ghaddafi Jr lose his region's scepticism against US Middle East policies. "America has to adopt a neutral and constructive policy in Palestine. Either don't touch it or be constructive, like Clinton. I think Bush was right at the beginning of his presidency, when he was neutral."
- Then he changed his mind, Saif Ghaddafi says. "And he's now supporting Israel without any limits, which is a big mistake. If the Americans can solve the problem in Iraq and play a constructive
in Palestine, I'm sure big change will happen," regarding the current anti- American sentiments of the Arab world. ..
