And if you take a look at the headline of Stage Five, which is Life is Great, this may seem a little incongruous.

Indeed, some activists are already back in Tahrir Square demonstrating against such an incongruous yet possible alliance. In Libya, if Qaddafi falls, can such a highly tribalized country possess the building blocks needed for a functioning democracy?

Such arrangements are incongruous to the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for two reasons. First, the Millennium Development Goals require focus on poverty reduction and social development strategies and well coordinated, unified planning and implementation mechanisms.

Some commentators draw an incongruous parallel between rocket and mortar attacks by Palestinian militants in Gaza against Israelis and the less lethal but very strident physical efforts of Israeli disengagement opponents to impede the implementation of that decision.

Perhaps the most incongruous presence was Gen. Victor Stanculescu, a favorite of the Ceausescu s who only days before had reportedly organized their evacuation from the rooftop of the Central Committee. Other reports credited him with subsequently organizing both their trial and a firing squad even before the legal proceedings began.
