Flashback 2007: Gadhafi Junior's Nightclub Brawl/German-Libyan Diplomatic Relations Strained
2011-03-03
Background on the Gaddafi clan. I wasn't aware of this incident before I googled 'Seif Al-Arab'.
Note that in early 2007 Gaddafi backed down, and didn't escalate.
A year later the Hannibal Gaddafi arrest in Geneva led to a major confrontation. By then Gaddafi had understood that he'd get away with nearly everything, and Switzerland was a smaller adversary in the first place.

The dresses notwithstanding Gaddafi is not a loon, he's a rational explorative aggressor, always carefully probing for weakness and submission.
