Whether to cheer or cry has typically been the dilemma when considering anything that has involved Qadhafi over the last three to four decades.

A recovering revolutionary and terrorist, he's been in and out of rehab for these vices for nearly 30 years while floundering about with his "Third Universal Theory" of government, which makes Libya a theoretical democracy with its Jamahiriya system ( A state of the masses).

.....And now finally what every former revolutionary dreams of....Being King

A meeting of more than 200 African kings and traditional rulers has bestowed the title "king of kings" on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

The rulers, wearing gold crowns, sequined capes and colourful robes met in the Libyan town of Benghazi in what was billed as a first of its kind.

Col Gaddafi urged the royals to join his campaign for African unity.

Africa's political leaders are lukewarm about his vision of merging their powers to create a single government.

"We want an African military to defend Africa, we want a single African currency, we want one African passport to travel within Africa," Col Gaddafi told the assembled dignitaries, who come from countries such as Mozambique, South Africa, Ivory Coast and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

As once stated by a man of immense wisdom "It's good to be the King"

Not to mention it is good to be a man with 30 good looking Virgin female bodyguards.....but that is another story for another time.

"The people believe in the chiefs and kings more than they believe in their governments"

It is easy to find all the faults with the old leader, but what is more fascinating is to take a look a bit deeper at the infrastructure he has created in Libya.

But who can resist a smirk when you see him trudging about these days in a rustic brown cloak looking every bit the very aged rock star meets Jedi Master.

And now for your amusement we bring you this 80's classic :

Song Lyrics: Libyan on a Jet Plane
(Pinkard & Bowden)

(Tune of 'Leaving on a Jet Plane)


There's so many times we've crashed and burned,
Seems like the colonel would finally learn
Our Russian jets don't make good submarines.
We fly out to protect our nation,
And use seat bottoms for flotation.
The water's warm, and we're good swimmers too.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Call my folks in Tripoli,
Tell them that Khadafi made me go.
I'm a Libyan on a jet plane,
I don't know if I'll be back again.
Muammar, I hate to go.

Aircraft carrier J.F.K.
Come to blow our chemical plant away,
But we keep telling them it's just pharmaceutical.

So miss me and pray for me,
Bow down to the East for me,
Kneel and gently kiss my butt good-bye.
I'm a Libyan on a jet plane,
Don't know if I'll be back again.
Libyan on a jet plane,
Don't know if I'll be back again.

And for those of you wondering about the bodyguards

Libyan strongman Colonel Gaddafi flew into Paris for a state visit escorted by 400 aides, including 30 female bodyguards, all of whom are said to be Virgins.

According to The Sun, each of these bodyguards is a camouflage-clad trained killer who will protect him around the clock.

The entourage, which arrived on five planes, also includes a fleet of armour-plated limos, a camel and a heated tent in which he will stay on the grounds of the Hotel de Marigny. rench President Nicolas Sarkozy invited Gaddafi after Sarkozy's estranged wife Cecilia persuaded Libya to free six Bulgarians sentenced to death earlier this year.
