What are you guys talking about, sure he was a dictator but thats why he could lead Libya to such prosperity, he was a great ruler of his country 90% of people were happy under him, but he never wanted to let outside influence in, thats why he had to go and be replaced by puppet government made up of traitors who will now roll in money for few years and leave the country devastated but thats all right since by then no one will talk about Libya.
Gaddafi is dead

- Start date
Despite a lot of the bleak outlook of the world, the past several years have had many promising victories for humanity: Gaddafi, Bin Laden, Saddam, even to a certain extent, Castro... it feels... conceivable that I will see North Korea and possibly even Africa gain a few victories within my lifetime.
It's nice to have hope - if only people living in those other countries could feel similarly.

Now the question is, who will reshape the country, and if Fanatical people won't take a much higher ground like in Tunisia...
Have you seen some of the rebel fighters who were looking for him? They were absolutely hell bent on killing him. I remember one news footage from when the Rebels took Tripoli was of a man holding an RPG. He pointed to it and said 'I'm saving this for Gaddafi.' They were out for blood and even if they had captured him, he probably be sentenced to execution regardless.orangeban said:
I read this title as "Gandalf is dead". Sometimes, dyslexia is fun
OT: Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. And he had a golden gun? Badass

At first glance I thought you said "Gandalf" was dead, and I started to panic that Ian Mckellan wouldn't finish The Hobbit.
Then I heard it was Gaddafi. Good riddance.

40+ years of Stalinist tyranny, and the first thing people in the west do when he is killed is to bawl their eyes out that the ragged rebel militia didn't send him on a luxury holiday in Europe with all expenses paid while they figure out how many millions a year he would get to live in a mountain resort.
Briliant.

I'll await till theres a verification from independent sources.
Though if its true... eh? This was Britains mess to sort out, so lets hope they have the decency to actually help clean up their mess.

No one is bawling their eyes out or disputing that he shouldn't have been killed. Its also an invasion of the United Nation's human rights documents.Istvan said:
You cannot take away someone's right to live without due process. That is a basic human right and had it not been done to Gaddafi and instead on someone good or someone you support, you'd be in an outrage.
As much as I didn't like Gadaffi we had no right to start to support a war in his country.
Syria will be next and then Iran.

gadaffi was instrumental figure in the non-aligned movement during the cold war. There are plenty of countries that are thankful for this because the non-alignment movement allowed many countries to remain independent as opposed to being US or USSR playthings.
And for all the horrible things he has done, libya still has better welfare than in the wet dreams of many wall street protesters. education is free, healthcare is free & housing is heavily subsidized. All of those things gadaffi introduced.
Of course he was a horrible person, but that's not all he was
