Muammar Qaddafi (born 1942) has been the Muslim dictator of Libya since 1969, when he seized power in a military coup against King Idriss. Once he became dictator, he renamed all the months in the calendar and published the Green Book, which was a series of pamphlets on democracy, economics, and sociology.
President [[Ronald Reagan]] was a frequent target of Qaddafi's rants. Reagan responded with this assessment:<ref>http://www.nndb.com/people/641/000026563/</ref>
:I find he's not only a barbarian, but he's flaky. ... I just think that the man is a zealot.
Reportedly Qaddafi supported terrorism, and may have ordered the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 in 1988.
