The Gold Market

1. The conflict will not be resolved in a matter of days.
2. Gaddafi is in for the longer haul.
3. Malta has nothing to offer in way of military bases and assets.
4. US is reluctant to get involved.
5. France ‘prematurely’ recognizes the Benghazi council.
6. Arab League changes position twice – reluctantly joins coalition.
7. NATO stays clear of problem but very reluctantly assumes responsibility in view of US retreat.
8. The rebels were wrong to ‘refuse foreign troops on Libyan soil’ when it was obvious from day one they could not possibly handle the situation themselves.
9. The only way of getting rid of Gaddafi is for one of his own to muster the courage and blast him off.
10. In the face of all the mess, Malta should just continue to offer humanitarian support.

Those remarks were made in the span of the last three weeks. As time wears on, it is quite evident that Malta’s stance in this issue is correct, prudent and actually, the only sane one to take.

Attributing the government’s decisions based solely on matters of safeguarding trade relations with Libya(s) emerging from this revolt is plainly ludicrous and misguided. If Malta is to lose trade, may I point out that it already has done so and those companies who put all their eggs in one basket, did so at their own risk and after years of gain, its their turn to go through some tough times ahead – or take this opportunity to develop other markets.

It seems that the Maltese government took the right approach that saying less is better when clearly it cannot assume the role of a bully.

Better not start a project than starting it and stopping half way through.

How can they talk of democratic dictators and democratic regime change ?

The mind boggles.

It is very true but when there is a real leader who is not afraid to take bold decisions and is able to inspire others, you can forge ahead and do what is right.

Eddie Fenech Adami comes to mind. We all remember that there were times when we seriously questioned decisions which were not backed by public support. More often than not, time proved him right.

Unbelievable!
