This is what happens to all that oppose the hand of the beast.
but Gaddafi was not a saint. Those of us that have lived long enough to establish karmic balance or imbalnce...we all reap what we sow at the end.

If it was the truth. He wouldn't be dead.

Funny thing about the truth. It usually is displayed by what people do.


Man was a crooked dictator. Let 'em burn and his memory be forgotten.

Just something that popped into my head would it not be interesting if he is alive again on the 3rd day.

Hi there OP. Good post. While I, generally, support your opinion, I'd like to add a few points based on some of the replies here:

1) Gadaffi was, indeed, no saint

He certainly had good intentions. I think what happened, though, was that after the earlier "revolution" he consistently was worried about counter revolutionaries trying to take the power back. I'm going to assume that in his frame of mind, he was worried of those trying to take the power away from "the people". Furthermore, I don't think Gadaffi ever truly trusted the people.

If ANY of you actually ever read the Green Book, you'd see that his ideas are actually quite strong and reasonable. In order to keep these ideas working, a certain form of control (or, dictatorship) is required

2) Why all the supporters of a dead Gadaffi??

My guess is that the majority of the 'supporters' are "youngsters" who never actually lived in Libya pre-Gadaffi. As one of the replies states, there are PLENTY of people who absolutely love Gadaffi. They are probably older though.

3) The Monarchists

Has anyone here noticed as of yet that all of the "rebels" are always waving the old Monarchist flags? Furthermore, is anyone aware that the beginning of the "protests" that started this whole rebellion, were launched from organizations based out of the UK and the US? The initial day of protests weren't even organized from those within Libya. That speaks a certain truth on it's own.

In Summary..

I don't think Gadaffi was a saint. He did some stupid things, and trampled the rights of some individuals. That being said, it's Libya - not North America. Things run differently there. I truly believe that he was looking out for Libyans, Africans, etc..Anyone with a basic knowledge of Libya would understand that Libya has ALWAYS been ruled and conquered by Western actors. Gadaffi was the one who 'apparently' was not.

The concept that the whole country is celebrating his death is complete propaganda and stupidity. Yes - I'm sure that there are those who indeed are celebrating. But please, stop pawning off that the whole country is like this. The whole country has practically never been united UNTIL Gaddafi - if that. Seeing as a country has never been unified for centuries, I find it VERY hard to believe that the whole country was against Gadaffi. The success of this operation is entirely due to Western influence aiding and arming a group of disenfranchised youngsters, Westerners, etc..

Thanks.

Nice post, you went to a lot of trouble, but, a fascist is a fascist. They all have their fans because a fascist has to 'take care' of a certain sector of the population to keep the grip on power. Take for example Francisco Franco, there are still people here in Spain that worship the guy. That doesn't make him some good wise king, it just meant that he controlled the military and used a system of priveledge and punishment to keep the people in line. He was executing political prisoners right up to the end. This is the way of all fascist regiemes.
Clearly Gaddafi wasn't loved by all look at how he ended up, and don't give me none of that western conspiracy BS, he took money from big oil to keep his military well armed so he could stay in power so long, and that's all there is to it. Any monkey could have done the job, and I'm sure BP compensated him handsomely. In fact I'm pretty sure the reason Gaddafi was killed right after capture was to keep his mouth closed about the financial aid he was recieving to drag this civil war on so long. BP needed time to negotiate with the next regieme.

I usually ignore posts such as yours, but I fight fascism in all it's forms, Power to the people!

And you know this how?

Have you been to Libya? do you know any Libyan people?

No need to answer that, I know you got this part of your education from your TV.

PEACE,

Let's clean the world from the scum that we call our government/army.

This is the time, you will be given a few more invites in the future.

Although i respect what you have written and i take it that you feel strongly about it but here is what i think.

Human rights DO NOT apply to a mass murderer, he killed thousands of people including women and children, he may not have pulled the trigger but he certainly ordered most of it.

Being shot in the head it a quick way out, if i had him i would make the pain last for as long as possible. I think its funny how he can beg for his life only when he is captured, when he was in hiding his spokesman was giving all kinds of threats out.

My children have already covered this in their history class as current events project so that alone makes your title wrong.

My rant over.
