Libya could fall into hands of extremists, Nato warnsI am recalling the words of Captain James T Kirk at the beginning of Star Trek VI, "Let me know if we can screw up anything else."
Libya is in danger of falling into the hands of Islamic extremists if a stable government is not rapidly established, Nato’s secretary-general warned last night.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Islamic extremists would “try to exploit” any weaknesses created as the country tried to rebuild after four decades of Col Muammar Gaddafi’s rule.
Mr Rasmussen was speaking amid growing evidence of splits in the rebel leadership in Tripoli. His words will cast a damper over the euphoria sweeping Tripoli in the wake of the revolution.

I can't really fault him for not knowing the toast (Ladies and Gentlemen, to the Queen) but protocol staff, you should prep this man.
Oh gotta ask what kind of bike is that. I got a 07 Road King and I love it.
