'My People Love Me': Moammar Gadhafi Denies Demonstrations Against Him Anywhere in Libya

REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK By CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR
TRIPOLI, Libya, Feb. 28, 2011

Gadhafi denied using his air force to attack protesters but said planes had bombed military sites and ammunition depots. He also denied there had been demonstrations and said young people were given drugs by al-Qaida and therefore took to the streets.

The uprising that began Feb. 15 has posed most serious challenge to Gadhafi in his more than four decades in power. His bloody crackdown has left hundreds, and perhaps thousands, dead.

"They love me. All my people with me, they love me," he said. "They will die to protect me, my people."

QOW education

I would rate my education a 7 because I believe it has many useful tools to help students learn. This country has the capability and more money compared to other coutries to offer the best education. I would not rate the education in the United States any higher because I believe it has an enormous gap between high school and College and students do not graduate with the required skills to graduate. In my personal experience this system of education works for me because I am intrested in learning, I enjoy it and take advantage of the experience. I would also not rate it any higher because I dont believe in those tests that the government gives to check progress, or to measure our knowledge, honestly a test score simply measures what facts you remember at the moment you are taking the test and it does not go any more further than that. As a closing statement I believe this country has a ground and nesessary tools to have great eduacation for children but they are lacking skills to teach and programs to motivate and help students learn to learn.

A reaction to: Class Discussion "For or Against builing the Mosque"

I enjoyed this discussion because it gave me new point of views to think about. In the beginning I was in the middle (undecided), but by the end I was convinced by the conversations we had. As it is now I think I am back in the middle because this is a very sensitive subject and in the end they should do what the majority wants to, just to keep the peace with everyone. I thought it was very interesting to see a lot of people in the middle at the beginning of the discussion and how it shifted to the majority of people “for building the mosque” at the end. This means that the argument “for building the mosque” made stronger points to persuade the audience. Here is where I stand, if someone asked what my opinion
was on this subject I would say personally I would have no problem with Muslims building a Mosque near ground zero. But considering that many people took it as an offence I would have to be realistic and say that it is impossible to change their mind and since this subject has become so delicate I would simply build it somewhere less controversial for the safety of everyone. This being said the only reason I did not shift to “against building it” was because the arguments for “not building the mosque” in my opinion were not accurate or reliable, they were simply opinions based on personal preferences and religious biases. In the end the strength of each argument is what made me decided on what side I stood. This taught me how important it is to watch carefully what I say and how I say it, to get my point across and avoid misunderstandings.
