Trying to see the humor in it

Three video items that have come to my attention today, causing my darker humor bone to vibrate:

1. Berlusconi kissing Gaddafi’s hand, courtesy of PressTV (they might have a bit of an ax to grind):

 

2. Saif al Islam selling snake oil to Christiane Amanpour, who isn’t buying, courtesy of the Daily Beast:

 

3. A bit of fun at the Saudi King’s expense, courtesy of Emma Sky:

 

For those interested in more serious fare, try the Ottaways’ Of Revolutions, Regime Change, and State Collapse in the Arab World – Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
