Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the colorful and flamboyant leader of Russia's LDPR party, on Saturday called on the Muslim world to unite and support Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi.

"LDPR turns to all the people of the Muslim countries and urges them to unite and show solidarity with Muammar Gaddafi. The leadership of these countries should make a joint stand against NATO's military efforts in Libya," a statement by Zhirinovsky said.

"Do not ditch Libya face to face with the juggernaut of the North Atlantic bloc. Do not allow NATO to crush the democracy in Libya, especially with regard to the fact, that this country does not threaten anybody. Do not do the short-sighted oversea politicians' bidding," the LDPR leader said.

The tumult in Libya should be brought to stop as any other Muslim country could face the same situation, Zhirinovsky said. "The West is aggressive and resolved. They have not drawn a lesson from the negative experience of military intervention to Afghanistan and Iraq."

I can't say that I don't agree with him. I'll be curious to see what Russia's role in this "war" with Libya will be.

The LDPR (represented by this guy) got 10% of the vote last election, coming in third behind United Russia (71%) and the Communists (18%).

As for calling Gaddafi's regime a "democracy," that's the worse joke I ever heard. Just because we shouldn't be intervening and the rebels are probably just as bad does not mean Gaddafi is a good guy. There can be a fight between two bad guys too. In fact, most wars are fought between two bad guys.

The world isn't black and white.

Obama is shameless. I hope Russia actually does something, because picking on small countries is damn immoral. The EU and U.S vs Libya? Give me a break. This is no different than a gangbang.

Russia attacked Afghanistan some 25 years back and USA got involved. Now I think Russia may get involved in Arab War. Bitter sweet revenge Russian-style.

Why would Russia get involved? Couldn't they have just used the UN Veto power to stop UN action?

You would have thought so, but maybe they have something else planned. I saw on CNN last night that Russia "regretted" their decision on Libya. Perhaps the "regret" will bring them to Libyas defense?
