Yes, one of his sons, but certainly not the thug you portrayed.
The son i mean indeed is responsible for Lybia having abandoned it'S nuclear program, and he went high personal risks there. I saw him on german TV short while ago. He said that he has sympathy for the Israeli struggle, and although he thinks they do and did bad things, he readily admitted that the Arabs gave them all reason to be on their toes, and that Arabs did not play nicely with them, too. He also said, in another program on nuclear proliferation, that he admires the way the Israelis with the limited resources and space available to them have managed to form a stable democratic nation with such a highly developeved infrastructure and education level, and that he sees Israel as his personal example to follow in trying to do the same with Lybia.
Until then I never have heared of this man, and in fact have still not memorised his name. But you can imagine my surprise to hear stuff like this from somebody inside Gadaffi's family! What a difference a humanistic education in Switzerland and Britain can do, if only it falls on fertile ground. If Gadaffi ever is to leave office or die, this son is the guy to hope for taking over power (although it will be difficult for him, and piut his life at risk, I assume, he may be too aesthetic to survive tough powerpolitics by his brotherly rivals).
