Khadafy named his kid Hannibal? Not much of an ego on that guy, is there?

Last time i checked, Hamilcar Barqa, father of Hannibal Barqa, failed in conquering Spain or Rome. On the otherhand, the elder Barqa was did manage to temporarily conquer Sicily. What has Khaddafy done?

Hannibal is a very poor choice of a name for a Muslim. It means "Ba'al (Hammon) is my Grace." The Arabaic for "God is my grace" would be Hannial.
