Reports suggest Gaddafi is dead

[Oleh]

Always nice to see that after all that trouble and torture, they go right ahead and assassinate him. They obviously didn't think it through.

Gadhafi took 42 years to bring this country from nowhere to the top of the human development index on the continent. It took NATO 6 months and 20 000 bombing sorties to bring this country back to it's original position.

w o w just watched bbc news, shocking pictures. whilst I agree he's a terrible man, a simple shot to the head woulda done it.

Another socialist despot and his regime (supported by the west) consigned to the dustbin of history.

As for his method of death I say this. Firstly, why is the Prime Minister David Cameron congratulating this news when apparently he does not believe in the death penalty? if death without a trial by jury, by a mob on the streets is good enough for Gaddafi - then why will Mr. Cameron utterly reject the notion of the death penalty being used in the United Kingdom when it has majority support, comes with trial by jury, the right of appeal and a humane method of execution. Secondly, while I support his execution I do not support the execution-by-mob style which Bin Laden and Gaddafi have been killed by. I actually find the pictures of his final moments rather sickening, and thats even with being aware of what this man and his regime have done over the past few decades. Animals do not act like this, savages do.

..but thats one less Christmas card that Mr. Blair will be recieving this year! no doubt Mr. Blair can now sleep soundly, knowing that Gaddafi is no longer around for a trial in which he could expose the dirt he has on Blair himself along with the British and American governments. How convenient.

What will arise next in a deeply tribal and divided country that was held together, like Iraq, by a hardline strongman?

Finally!

Hopefully Libya get peace now...

This video is strangely prophetic, notice President Assad of the Syrian Republic laughing and now look who is laughing. Gaddafi was brutally frank about international relations, he made peace with the west during the turn of the century and then look what happened.



I do hope for the restoration of the Kingdom of Libya and the Libyan Royal Family, its been rumoured as a possibility - again, it goes to show that nations which have a consitutional monarchy or even an absolute monarchy are by far the most prosperous and stable... Jordan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates..... it's the best thing Libya could do right now to ensure stability.

Damn! so that means no more SNL sketches about him on Weekend Updates! Sorry if that offended people.

On the other hand, good thing he won't be terrorizing people anymore
