    Do you think the irish or more to the point sinn fein should provide a safe house for colonel Gadaffi, i mean they owe him one after all the weapons he gave them back in the 80s.

    And lets not forget about all the irish beef Libya bought from us over the years.

    So lets cut the guy some slack and give him a nice seluded home in south armagh, i'm sure slab murphy has got a spare bed.

    Why not give him a house in Dublin. "Gadaffi's gaff" does have a nice ring to it.

    South Armagh? Safe haven?

    The Brits haven't quite left yet, you know. Don't think they would take too kindly to Gaddafi hiding out in their territory.

    Not a bad idea. Perhaps, he can live in Célestin Lainé's old home. Surely, you remember that NAZI war criminal sentenced to death and protected by Dev and his FF chums? A man that died peacefully in 1983 and had never been expatriated by any government, FF or FG.

    Tbh I'm not even sure if Ian Paisley still uses the "Sinn Fein/IRA" slogan any more, I honestly believe there are some people in the Republic more intent on dragging up the past instead of looking to the future than even he is.

    Interesting thread.

    I have no doubt there will be people in Northern Ireland willing to keep him safe. After all, it was him who give weapons to the IRA to carry on the killing and some would say genocide.

    I think he prefers a tent. He brought his own when he came on a state visit to Paris last year. :D

    Now there's a good name for a nightclub. We can have Gadaffi as head barman.

    Actually, I think he might like a little place in Kildare. Is Martinstown House up for sale? Isn't that where Skorzeny lived for a while during the sixties?
    Ironically enough, our old buddy Muammar hired Otto and his little mercenary unit once upon a time.

    Are you serious?


    Well in that case, 'some would say' the British Army are guilty of genocide by carrying out Bloody Sunday.

    Obligatory rolleyes in 5...4....3....2.....1......:rolleyes:

    There hasn't been a good enough facepalm to describe this.

    I would call that retaliation, etnic cleansing is were a group of people are targeted with hope of eradication ect. Look towards groups which outlaw said members of the ethnicity. Any way keith to be honest I have no sympathy for a group of people who deny people of other religions an effective vote, or rights to jobs and equal treatment, the same people turn on members of their own religion when they befriend members of another religion. When looking at the past its easy to pick out right and wrong but the point is in cases like this retaliation was going to happen its human nature and in the end the norths a better place with equal rights for all religions.
