Qadhafi: Arab nationalism is dead

[Darranar]

Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi gave a hard-hitting speech against fellow-Arab countries, declaring Arab nationalism dead and gone forever.

“The times of Arab nationalism and unity are gone forever,” Qadhafi told an audience of women on Saturday at Syrte, east of Tripoli, AFP reported. “These ideas which mobilised the masses are only a worthless currency.”

The once champion of both Arab nationalism and Pan-Africanism also called on the People's Congresses, the centre of the country's political system, to permit Libya to withdraw from the Arab League.

Libya has been planning to leave the League for a number of months.

4. 30 years is recent?

Were we "recently" in Vietnam?

Was the Soviet Union just "recently" invading Afghanistan?

Was Nixon President recently?

How about recently, as in within the time that the current Israeli government has been in power (or the one before that or the one before that)?

How about recently, as in the last decade?

How about recently, as in within the lifetime of this year's graduating high school class?

By your definition, I was recently born and the gray hairs on my head tell me that's just not so.
