World doesn't understand Libya's people power: Muammar Gaddafi

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said on Wednesday the world did not understand the Libyan system that puts power in the hands of the people.

"We put our fingers in the eyes of those who doubt that Libya is ruled by anyone other than its people," he told an applauding audience shown on Libyan television, referring to his system of "direct democracy" which he outlined in his Green Book political manifesto.
