Dinja ghalina: total inability to see the bigger picture
from timesofmalta.com’s comments board

This is another blow to the Maltese nation. A civil war in Libya is a war stained with blood and the fear is that nobody will win. A protracted civil war will increase hardships to the Maltese working in Libya. It is a time when the Gonzi Regime is offering any jobs to the Maltese, the regime is dry of creating wealth to the Maltese. The Libyan civil war will increase poverty and criminality in Malta. It is in the interest of the Maltese diplomatic corp to find peaceful solutions for the benefit of everybody. Another rise in the fuel price due to uncertainty in the region will put the Maltese industry in big trouble with the detriment to increase hardships to our workforce which is already in the red.

I am sick and tired of these people using the word ‘regime’ with regards to the Malta government.
You would think that by now, with all this going on in the Arab world, they would have learned the meaning of ‘regime’, even if they didn’t live in Malta 25 years ago to find out.
Incredibly, they think that Malta cannot be touched by what is happening so very close to us. When are they going to grow up and realise that we are living in a globalised world and that Malta is not the be all and end all.
Those who use the word “regime” are either wearing rose-tinted glasses, or else were born post-1987, because they certainly do not know what life was REALLY like under Mintoff.
Some people are unable to see the bigger picture, as you rightly point out. But they also get the smaller picture wrong.
This comment is up there with Muscat’s tourism campaign:

Dear Prim Minister, What are you waiting for? Seize the moment and start drilling for oil!!
X’injoranza ta’ nies.
And what do you expect of the Victor Vellas, and all the wiff waff at l-orizzont, illum, kulhadd, etc. No one owes anyone a living. We have to hit the road to get a job. There will be no preferential treatment for anyone.
It is amazing how this Victor Vella managed to spell”regime” correctly
These comments are sickening. They are the same people who used to lick Gadaffi’s boots in the Golden Years of Mintoff and KMB.
“It is in the interest of the Maltese diplomatic corp to find peaceful solutions for the benefit of everybody. ”
No hope of that nowadays. If it were the seventies though we could have relied on Mintoff to send over some troops and maybe even an armed helicopter or two to help pacify the rowdy mob.
So now, will Mintoff return the medal and cash sent to him with compliments of Gaddafi?
Would KMB break down with emotion like he did when receiving the medal and cash on behalf of Mintoff?
Does (or can Mintoff) give a damn?
Will CNI issue a statement defending Gaddafi?
Will KMB offer to mediate and negotiate compensation for the widows and widowers of unarmed victims of the Gaddafi regime?
Will Joseph open up a travel agency in Tripoli and arrange for distraught Libyans to tour Malta while their country burns?
Are we witnessing a tal-Barrani episode on a much grander scale and with much deadlier results?
Will Gaddafi be remembered as our ‘brother’ gone wrong having massacred hundreds of his own countrymen just because they demanded justice, democracy and a better standard of living?
With ‘friends’ like Gaddafi, who needs enemies?
Angus, Mintoff RETURNING cash? You ARE asking for miracles.
