>November 10 > Libya's Ambassador to the United Nations, Abuzed Dorda, said Libya is a better example of democracy, "not the ridiculous model of the United States." He was one of about a score of speakers in the General Assembly on what has become the annual debate on "the necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba." The measure passed 167-3. "We're told that Cuba is not democratic and should emulate United States' democracy, that Cuba should base itself on the Florida model," Dorda said. "That's scandalous. "We are witnessing it here in the United States," he said. "We can see from the elections that we are the democracies, not the ridiculous model of the United States." The Tripoli envoy was referring to three nations under U.S. embargo -- Cuba, Iraq and Libya -- which he mentioned earlier in his remarks.
