There is no state with a democracy except Libya on the whole planet.

I am a Bedouin warrior who brought glory to Libya and will die a martyr.

Libya has had to put up with too much from the Arabs for whom it has poured forth both blood and money.

I cannot recognise either the Palestinian state or the Israeli state. The Palestinians are idiots and the Israelis are idiots.

The times of Arab nationalism and unity are gone forever. These ideas which mobilized the masses are only a worthless currency. Libya has had to put up with too much from the Arabs for whom it has poured forth both blood and money.

Nations whose nationalism is destroyed are subject to ruin.
