PS: I Am Not A Crackpot

A Libyan motion calling for the dismemberment of Switzerland was rejected by the United Nations about a month ago, a UN spokesman said on Thursday…Gaddafi first mentioned the idea of dismemberment during the G8 summit in Italy in July. 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".

Gaddafi continues to cement his position as the worlds most consistantly entertaining dictator. Anyone got any idea what the backstory on this odd little outburst is? I mean, personally I'm totally in favor of disbanding some of the world's more superflous countries (Austria, Belarus, at least one Congo, New Zealand...), but I'm assuming there is some vaguely logical reason why Gaddafi's suddenly got it in for Switzerland.
