News / Poland ready to receive Libyan refugees [159]
Interesting...
Since the topic is about Libya in North Africa, I am reminded of Erwin Rommel and wonder how long before the truth behind his death was generally accepted in Germany, and what was the general opinion of him at that time?
Anyway that's off topic.
For some reason I find myself behind the Rebels (maybe because I thought Gaddafi disrespected the UN meeting on 23 September 2009... Put him in a zoo. I thought! But more importantly because of the Lockerbie Bombing!) Even though what the opposition may end up being is uncertain, I have this hunch that it won't be another Iran or Taliban (I hope not!). Either way I still believe in Democracy, I'd like to see how these people use the gift of freedom, otherwise I don't know how I can judge them, when their behind a "dictator's" decisions.
And finally in response to the OP... I'd say that it should be a given YES to accepting only 12 desperate people. But I don't know anything about them, anyway to do background checks on them? Probably not. How would one go about enforcing some kind of criteria to figure out whether one enters a nation expecting to integrate, or simply 'use' that nation, or maybe not so much 'use' as even 'colonize'. ;)

Quite the contrary, the officers of the resistance were seen quite unanimously as traitors by the folks at home and the soldiers at the fronts...even for decades after the war.
