Gaddafi’s name on the honours list debases all the others and devalues the honour itself.

Stripping him of those honours will restore some dignity to those who deserve it, not least those who have lived and died in the hell he made for them.

And there are too many, including Dr. Portelli and Maria Grech Ganado, who do not have an inkling about protocol and concentrate solely about getting attention when they should consider themselves honoured at receiving such recognition and not be concerned about how less deserving others may be.

It’s none of their business at how fast or slow the less deserving ones (Gaddafi) are stripped of the honours received. It takes an act of Parliament, I believe, and at this juncture, it is not such a pressing issue.

Whether Gaddafi hangs his Maltese medals around his neck or not will not make him any more or less powerful (or rational) than returning them or being stripped of the medals.

[Daphne – I couldn’t agree with you less. And you couldn’t be more wrong.]
