Déjà vu all over again

While listening to reports of the G’duffi banging on about how everyone loves him and he’ll die for his country and everyone else in Libya will do the the same, I was struck by how much the same, all routine dictator-rant is. In fact, I can imagine Gordon Brown doing the same routine for his cronies right up to the moment when the people overthrew his regime. Which kinda blunts the impact of G’duffi’s ravings – imagining him as just another Gordon Brown on the way out.
