It is universal knowledge that Libya's embattled dictator Muammar Gaddafi is, to put it rather mildly, losing it in both the literal and figurative senses. With his virtually self-made empire collapsing all around him as bands of hellbent rebels advance towards Tripoli, his reign of terror seems to be nearing its end. He has stated, though, that he is not ready to go down without a fight and is willing to massacre scores of his own countrymen in order to achieve that goal.
Unlike the vast majority of history's despots, Gaddafi is not behaving in a rational manner during what are undoubtedly his final days in power. While most would be clearing out their respective nations' treasuries in a mad dash to procure the greatest amount of material wealth possible, he seems to be doing no such thing. As a matter of fact, he began doing quite the opposite last week by way of distributing guns and generous stipends to commoners loyal to his regime. These are the actions of a scared, desperate man; one who is not being guided by logic but sheer emotionalism. Needless to say, in the long run, his choices will bear strongly negative consequences for him, whatever the outcome of the Libyan revolution may be, but non-thinkers of his nature rarely tend to look past the immediate future while ultimately digging themselves into a deeper hole — if not their own graves.
