Started reading his "Green Book". He makes some interesting points in his book as he did here:
1. If a group of people say they no longer want to be a nation state, is there a legal framework in local and international politics to do so. (if there is please let me know, I would love to here about it)
2. If there is no legal framework then violence will seem to be the only resort. Law, is the main reason why disputes between two resolute parties do not end in violence. The irony is, violence is often needed to enforce laws. In the absence of laws, you condemn the area of secession to violence and propaganda. Under this conditions, military support to a secessionist group is necessary and cannot be classified as terrorism.
3. Shame that innocent people will have to die in the violence (my 2nd point is mute if there is legal framework for secession)

Gadaffi we love u, and u are truly missed

Mr Fuller’s Code book has the word ‘violence’ defined as unjust harm so by that definition Gadaffi should have said violence is never justified but self defense or counter violence is
