As an aside, the Middle East is not well known for their musicality. For good reason. To quote the New York Times:
Mr. Moussa, 74, a former foreign minister and then longtime secretary general of the Arab League, is considered the front-runner in the presidential race. He has long been popular for his confrontational remarks about Israel and the United States — Mr. Mubarak removed him as foreign minister after a song called “I Hate Israel and I Love Amr Moussa” became a pop hit in 2001.
Perhaps in addition to supporting the Libyan people on GaddafiChivalry.com, we ought to think of invoking some cultural imperialism and supplying them with better/listen-able revolutionary music. The normal dancing, with the guns and the snake-charmer music, it's like: wait, I've seen this before, and have been scared.
We must remember that it is important to speak with infinite relativity while acting with cultural superiority. That's what an Ivy degree means.
