Small favors
Gaddafi the Younger at Davos, as related by Jay Nordlinger.. . . Then he says something utterly fascinating: We Arabs have lost all our wars against Israel because Israel is democratic, and we are undemocratic. In other words (Gaddafi continues), in one of our states, the worst general becomes army chief of staff, because he is no threat to carry out a coup d'�tat. Loyalty to the number one is all that matters. Democracy, on the other hand, is a competitive mechanism � and that's why Israel wins.Lots more snapshots of the bloodcurdling international politeratti in these four Impromptus, read them all.Quips an Israeli at the table, "Please don't ever have a democracy."
