Shoulders Above Other Scum

There is little dispute that Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is a world-class bully but it doesn't make him unique.

Hitler was a bully along with Stalin and Saddam Hussein and Ahmadinejad and Mugabe and Idi Amin and so on. They all rule(d) using iron-fisted thuggery.

Likewise, Gaddafi took power in Libya using thug tactics and, just this weekend, he declared war on his own people, also a common practice among bully dictators.

To be fair, though, the Libyan strongman stands out as unique among murderous national leaders, past and present. Muammar Gaddafi declared war on Switzerland.

Not Hitler, Mussolini, Idi Amin nor any others did it. Hell, the Fuhrer declared war on virtually the whole world, but avoided Switzerland.

By that one measure, Gaddafi stands shoulders above other scum.
