The burning question in my mind right now is: who is dressing Moammar? While snipers hunt down citizens, he stands at the ready, reading from his precious Green Book. He is laden in garb resembling a boxer's practice helmet with swaddling clothes covering his body.
He is imploring his disciples to crush the protestors. He has vowed a fight to the death. Perhaps red will be his preferred color in the coming days.
The other day he brought out a large white umbrella, saying he couldn't join his fellow Libyans, because it was raining. At least he had the right accessory for the rain.
While Benghazi burns and the death toll rises to the thousands, what will he wear as the bloodshed intensifies? Perhaps he will bring out that white suit again. A cleansing white to make the red in the streets stand out more. How about the bright lime green shirt he wore? He seems to fancy green. Perhaps he thinks it brings out the black in his eyes.
As the tanks roll and the military is urged to shoot on its own people, camouflage is, of course, always a solid choice in such circumstances. Green turban to match perhaps?
Ah well it will be so interesting to watch in the days to come. What goes well with the wood of a coffin or a funeral pyre? We can only hope to see.
