IT'S BEST WHEN THE KING LEADS THE REFORMATION...:

Gaddafi son unveils reform plan (BBC, 8/21/07)

The son of the Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has announced reform plans, including an independent central bank and free media.

Sayf al-Islam Gaddafi also called for a national dialogue on a new constitution to strengthen Libya's political system.

But he said Islamic Sharia law, security issues, Libya's territorial unity and his father's leadership would be kept out of any political debate.

Sayf al-Islam holds no government post, but is his father's most trusted envoy.

...but a sufficiently powerful prince will do.
