>Yeltsin

As long as he is good enough health to tell his henchmen "Break X's
legs", he's in business. (Actually, I think very highly of the man
but Russia is a very rough place...)

>Where does Gaddafi get that kind of money?

Well if you owned a large tract of the Sahara with a couple of nomads
in tents on top, and vast oil reserves underneath, you'd probably find
a way to amass billions. Just like the Sultan of Brunei, the Fahd
family of Saudi Arabia etc...

Actually it's Andrea Dworkin trying to prove a point.

PS: quote is from Metallica's little known album, "Pant". No, it's
really from "Load".
