Libyan Treasures

Director-General Irina Bokova of UNESCO announced yesterday that she has contacted "authorities" in Libya and neighboring countries to urge them "to protect Libya's invaluable cultural heritage" (title link). I hope she isn't referring to Colonel Gaddafi as one of those authorities. That delusional psychopath doesn't care about anything but himself. There are five World Heritage sites in Libya. The photo shows the Libyan Goddess Medusa (the Gorgon) guarding the Severan Forum in Leptis Magna, one of those UNESCO sites (CLICK). Let's hope Irini also put in a good word for Gaddafi's golden fist (CLICK).
