<p>The similarities  between the recent actions of the  Libyan dictator with Nero in the Great  Fire of Rome suggest that the  Libyan dictator is suffering from Caesar  madness.</p>
<p>Nero Claudius Caesar, the fifth emperor of ancient Rome, <strong>burned down  the city of Rome in the year 64 AD</strong> out of sheer madness; he finally  committed suicide in the year 68 AD.</p>
<p>Currently, the people of Libya are faced with a complicated figure   like Colonel Muammar Gaddafi who has brutally bombed public places and   killed hundreds of his own countrymen.</p>
<p>The violent oppression of the people suggests Gaddafi is not willing   to learn from history as he continues his struggle to maintain his grip   on power.</p>
<p>In the recent upheaval in Libya, a large number of aircraft have   reportedly fired at crowds of protesters in the city of Benghazi and   Tripoli, launching one of the most violent mass killings.</p>
<p>In a televised conference, Colonel Gaddafi called protesters   hooligans and said he would fight the people of Libya until the last   bullet.</p>
<p>Gaddafi, who is regarded as the strangest leader in the Arab world, was born in the city of Sirte on June 7, 1942.</p>
<blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/">Libyan</a> People’s Committee for General Security, the regime’s highest security     agency, has broadcast a message on state-run television calling on  “citizens    to co-operate and inform on those who led on the youth or  supplied them with    money, equipment or intoxicating substances and  hallucinatory pills.” <em><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8344842/Gaddafi-offers-cash-rewards-to-Libyans-to-betray-pro-democracy-protesters.html">The Telegraph</a></em></p></blockquote>
<p>He entered the army when he was 18. In 1969, he led a bloodless   rebellion with junior military officers against the former king Idris   al-Senussi when he was only 27-years-old.</p>
<p>Gaddafi came to power at a time when Arab nations were in a   difficult psychological state following their defeat in the 1967   Arab-Israeli war.</p>
<p>By using new rhetoric about fighting Zionism and imperialism in the   post-war political climate, Gaddafi managed to attract the attention of   most Arab nations.</p>
<p>In the past 42 years Gaddafi has used various political techniques   but over the past seven years, in a 180 degree turn, he embraced the   United States and the West.</p>
<p>Since the collapse of Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship in Iraq Gaddafi   has submitted to the United States and the West as he worries that the   time for his own collapse has come as well.</p>
<p>In 2003, Gaddafi signed an agreement with the United States handing   over control of nuclear installations and advanced weaponry to the   United States.</p>
<p>The Libyan dictator also paid USD 1 billion as compensation for the   1988 explosion of the Pan American flight over Lockerbie Scotland.</p>
<p>Since then, Gaddafi’s regime has become a favorite of the US and the   West’s because he provided information about Islamic and Arabic   resistance movements to the CIA.</p>
<p>Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, who has long been seen as the successor to   his father, has established deep ties with Israeli leaders and the   Zionist Lobby of the United States.</p>
<p>Thereby, Libya abandoned the anti-US and anti-Israel bloc to join   the American and Western allies. This unimportant change, however,   failed to gain the approval of the Libyan population.</p>
<p>This is because the people of Libya question the logic behind   Gaddafi’s decision to hand over control of expensive weaponry worth   upward of USD 20 billion to the United States without referring to   public opinion.</p>
<p>By complying with the West, Gaddafi intended to prepare grounds for the transfer of power to his son Seif al-Islam.</p>
<p>At the time, the US and European nations had agreed to the gradual transfer of power from Gaddafi to his son Seif al-Islam.</p>
<p>Despite the agreements, Colonel Gaddafi witnessed increased domestic   turmoil and he was faced with the waves of political dissatisfaction   within his own office.</p>
<p>The waves of the tsunami of Egypt and Tunisia quickly reached the   shores of Libya creating a difficult situation for the Libyan dictator.</p>
<p>Millions of Libyans protested the domestic and foreign policies of Colonel Gaddafi and confronted government forces.</p>
<p>The wave of unrest reached various cities across Libya and thousands   of people have been killed by the direct bullets of African   mercenaries.</p>
<p>Gaddafi has hired 50,000 mercenaries from all over Africa and has placed them in major Libyan cities.</p>
<p>Some say Seif al-Islam has contacted Israeli Defense Minister Ehud   Barak requesting a squadron of fighter jets to bomb the people of Libya.</p>
<p>Eyewitnesses in various cities have reported that several F-16   fighter jets have bombed crowds of people protesting against Colonel   Gaddafi.</p>
<p>The United States and countries that support Gaddafi have been quiet   about the massacre of Libyans at the hand of mercenaries in a bid to   advance their own interests.</p>
<p>Western analysts believe the reason why the US gave Gaddafi a free   rein to commit the massacres was to create mayhem in the nation.</p>
<p>The US and NATO member-states will then occupy Libya and control its   oilfields using the protection of Libyan people.as an excuse.</p>
<p>The current situation is too complicated to be able to make an accurate assessment of the outcome of the protests.</p>
<p>But still it seems Gaddafi’s situation is not better than that of   Ben Ali and Mubarak’s, the former Tunisian and Egyptian dictators.</p>
<p>Many of Libya’s political figures compare Gaddafi’s recent   oppressive measures to a headless chicken that will soon inhale its last   breath.</p>
