Guts

Say what you will about the guy, he’s got some kind of character: Khamis Gadhafi, son of the dictator, who runs Libya’s special forces when he’s not gadding about on the heir-to-oil-billions internship track, skedaddled back to Libya when the recent unpleasantness flared up. This guy actually left the comfort and safety of the US to return to help his father fight a war. (This might have gotten him killed.)

Most people seem to be making a big deal of the fact that a US company had taken him on board in the first place. This strikes me as gambling-in-Casablanca level disingenuousness; what do people think the children of immensely rich absolute dictators get up to? (So long as Dad’s in power, anyway.) It strikes me as far more interesting that he went back to Libya when the trouble started.
