qaddafi really hates switzerland

robert farley reminded me of this story from last week about how moammar qaddafi is lobbying to abolish switzerland:
Switzerland "is a world mafia and not a state", he said, adding that it was "formed of an Italian community that should return to Italy, another German community that should return to Germany, and a third French community that should return to France".
but what about the romansh community? doesn't anyone care about them?!?!?! where will they go, colonel qaddafi?

also this strikes me as an odd proposal to come from ruler of a nation that shares its official language with 21 other countries.
