| Gaddafi declares war on Italy |
| 2011-05-01 |
| On Saturday Muammar Gaddafi called for war with Italy over Italy's 'colonization' attempts. In a speech on Libyan state TV, Gaddafi said that he could not prevent a war with Italy since Libyans wanted it. Gaddafi said, "We are already in a war with Italy since Italians kill our children in 2011 as they did in 1911, that is why I cannot forbid Libyans to defend their lives and carry the military actions on the enemy's territory. Italy insists on repeating the crimes of 1911, in keeping with the same colonialist policy. This is the violent face of Italy. My friend Berlusconi and the Italian parliament are committing a crime." |

| #4 The Duck of Death is conveniently omitting the fact that North Africans had terrorized Europe for centuries prior to colonization (Barbary Slave Trade, Barbary corsairs.) In fact this threat was eliminated only when Western powers conquered the Barbary States. After decolonization it didn't take long for Libya to revert to bad old habits. Not even 20 years after independence Gaddafi took power and the pirates were back. |

| #2 Italy is a nice, common enemy. The Libyans remember the Italian occupation of WWII. |
