Tough justice

Taki

On board S/Y Bushido Around 20 years or so ago, Udai Hussein, Saddam’s boy, had some of his heavies beat up a man who refused their master’s invitation to join his table in a Geneva nightclub. The Iraqi wanted to meet the man’s beautiful companion, hence the invite. Although arrested, Udai got away with it by claiming diplomatic immunity. The Swiss caved in, as they often do in such cases. As Plato pointed out, money talks. The only good thing anyone can say about Udai is that he died like a man, as did his brother. Last week a scumbag who goes by the name of Hannibal Gaddafi, son of the Libyan head clown Muammar, was arrested by the Swiss police for beating up his servants. He spent two days in the cooler, was bailed, and then left the country. In response to his arrest, the head clown halted oil deliveries to Switzerland and barred Swiss ships from its ports by way of protest.

Libya supplies more than 50 per cent of Switzerland’s crude oil imports, so the oil freeze will definitely hurt. Yet if the Swiss cave in, all the bull**** we hear about human rights will go flying out the window. People, even servants of scum like Gaddafi, do have rights, and if those rights are trampled on and the guilty are let off because of their moolah and power, the whole Human Rights legislation becomes as big a joke as Gaddafi is as leader. Here’s what the Swiss should do immediately as well as permanently: ban all Libyans from entering the country. Expel all Libyan diplomats and Libyan passport holders. Freeze all Libyan assets until Hannibal Gaddafi gives himself up and is tried in a Swiss court of law. Demand an apology from the head clown for blackmailing the only truly democratic country in Europe. Then throw the little scumbag in jail and make him pay millions to the beaten servants. Then sit back and watch Gaddafi fold quicker than you can say accordion.

Muammar Gaddafi is a paper tiger who has been in power since September 1969, proof that Libya is a fifth-division country which would be better led by Caligula’s horse than the present joker who passes as leader. Gaddafi was s***-scared the second George W began raining bombs on Baghdad in 2003, then gave up his so-called nuclear research and shouted uncle. Yet the French President, also clownish at times, allowed the Libyan to set up a tent right in the middle of Paris when he was on a state visit to the City of Light. The Libyans are demanding an apology from the Swiss and have warned off Swiss ships from entering Libyan ports. This is the best news for Switzerland since the invention of the cuckoo clock. Screw the Libyans, and, while you’re at it, warn all the oily Arabs that their bank accounts are at risk if they continue to beat up helpless Filipino servants and other wretches trying to make a living working for such scum.

Arab diplomats have been mistreating servants since they got off their camels and started riding Cadillacs. And we in the West have turned a blind eye to such outrages because we’d sell our mothers for a quick buck, something the oily ones never deliver in the first place. The Swiss are the most guilty in this respect. They tolerate unacceptable behaviour by Saudi playboys related to the ruling house of camel drivers, so in a way the chickens have come home to roost. Stand up and be counted, all you Swiss. Call the clown’s bluff, freeze his illgotten moolah, and throw out every Libyan. Gaddafi pretends to be a lion, but in reality he’s a popinjay, who could die of fright at any moment. If he insists on an apology send him a box of chocolates laced with laxatives.

And lest we forget, now that Karadzic has been arrested, lest we celebrate too much, that is, our moral compass has been so deadened by propaganda and PC, we seem to ignore the killers who incinerate people from 15,000ft à la Clinton and Bush, but concentrate on killers like Karadzic who the bureaucrooks in the Hague and Brussels decided was a bad guy, whereas the Croats and Bosnian Muslims are good.

Last April a man considered a cold-blooded murderer by the Serbs and the Greeks alike, Ramush Haradinaj, a former leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army, was acquitted of charges of ethnic cleansing, including rape, murder and torture, sparking outrage in Serbia and among those who are familiar with that tortured part of Europe. The Hague war crimes court, in my not so humble opinion, is as kangaroo as it gets, and it can hold its head up high next to any kangaroo court that Africa can come up with. The kangaroo one that will try Karadzic will come up with not a single shred of evidence that he ordered the massacres of Muslims, as it didn’t in the case of Milosevic, but, if he does not die of a heart attack, he will be found guilty after closed sessions of the so-called judges. We have crybabies like one Roger Cohen beating his chest about what he and other hacks went through in Sarajevo, but the name of Celebici, where Muslims tortured and murdered Serbs, has never registered in his tiny American brain. (Cohen, a jerk of immense proportions, keeps calling for Turkey to join the EU. Then he will retire to Miami, or some place like it, and leave us with 80 million Muslims in our midst.) In the meantime, hail, Max Mosley! Now there’s a brave man, and I for one am proposing him for Pug’s club. And boo to the Murdoch tabloids bleating about Judge Eade. I know of no spectacle more ridiculous than a tabloid editor in a fit of morality. Bravo, Max.
