His son Saif was allegedly captured, too, but I haven't seen any evidence to confirm those reports...

 

I'm sure the families of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing feel that Kharma finally caught up with that POS...

 

The new order would bring Libya's free accommodation at the new, free education is also a new way. We'll see how these "warriors" will pay for this new order. That's when they will be the true "joy". Blya...

 

Lots of sad antiamerican apologists chirping in with the run of the mill examples of disjointed moral relativism. The man like so many of his dead compatriots had the chance to make things right, reform and stay a course that allows others to give him the benefit of the doubt. There is only a limit to what the world at large is going to be willing to take. Ghaddafi came along way towards international reconciliation (renouncing terrorism,complying with demands to scrap WMD, victim compensation packages), internal politics and human rights were his countries downfall tho, something only he could rectify and chose not to. In the end his iron fist could not keep his people down.

When will these dictators realize,slaughtering your own people is a bad idea.

 

HEY Jazzacks. He was 'persuaded' to give up his nuclear arms race and all he got was some western notice for his acquiescence. It won't like they bowed and gave obeisance to the 2 bit potentate. OR said that when things got tough they'd stand with the muslims.

 

If we keep (*)(*)(*)(*)ing around in other countries affairs, all we do is raise the probability of another 9/11.

We weren't attacked because we love freedom, just so you know....

 

Fairytales of the neocons.

 

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I am surprised that anyone here thought he'd be taken into custody and treated nicely.

 

When will America realize that supporting/aiding dictators who slaughter their own people is a bad idea?

 

Yes. The typical American attitude. Not a single word about the nationals of that country.

 

I think sometimes folks like you confuse "support" for ambivilence. Like I said it takes extraordinary actions to provoke actual "support" or on the flip side military intervention.

 

Feel free to break it down for us..instead of casting out the usual know nothing rhetoric.

 

If anyone is subjected to being placed under an international warrant for arrest, should they then be executed? Even before arrest?

Seriously there's no justice here.

If this is how people should be treated for being party to imprisonment, torture and executions of peoples, then shouldn't we be seeing Tony Blair and George W Bush being put up there along with Saddam and Gaddafi?

Oh of course not, they're the good guys and only bad guys get to be treated as bad guys by the good guys behaving like the bad guys. Really makes sense...

 

What justice was there when he was in power?
He received what he sowed...

 

If they are in the midst of a military siege ,not capitulating....then they might end up dead.

Saddam was arrested, tried and executed wasnt he?

The rest of your ridiculous propaganda isnt worth commenting on.

 

The actions which resulted in Saddam going to trial, the invasion of Iraq were actions made on lies made by propagandists that had individuals of your mindset eating out of their palm, while they decided what to take out first, water, electricity or communications, regardless of the effect it will have on civilians just to achieve military success so regime change can ensue and profit can be made and influence extended in the region, that cost the lives of over 100,000 civilians, that you don't care about.

 

You are only adressing one reason why we went to war with Saddam... There were many reason that were real and validated. And most of the civilian death aren't the direct result of the invasion but are in majority resulting from insurgent against civilian in sectarian conflict.

 

Mutassim they say has been arrested. I bet that tonight they will say he is dead too. Executed like his father. Saif is under arrest too. No doubt dead by a bullet to the head also to keep him quiet and not spill the beans about Sarzozy and all the rest of the hypocrites.

indeed

International Law
Geneva Convention
Human Rights
Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law
those kind of things....

Well they have put on hold the arms sale to Bahrain for the next few months so I suppose it is a small step

 

Yep.

 

International Law = Not enforcable...
Geneva Convention = Written by the victorious for the victorious to use as they see fit.
Human Rights = Respected in western society and trampled in islamic nation
Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law = Not applicable in war.

 

Well we saw how justice works in the prisoner swap recently, where I was being told that Galid was guilty by association. Now Ghadaffi is a lamb and should be innocent until proven guilty, protected by human rights and treated justly? You must be joking.

His people got their revenge.

I am surprised that you thought otherwise.

 

2 videos we have and now we know he was alive when taken from the pipe.
Beaten about the head as that reporter told Al Jazeera and alive as he was put in ambulance with 2 shots to legs. The witness confirmed that.

Then mysteriously he dies in ambulance with bullets to head and chest.

Silenced forever no doubt Saif and Muttasim will be treated the same way. Silenced.

 

surprised?? really??
so you would rather that Egyptian protesters stormed his villa or the hospital in Sharm and executed Mubarak?

Al Jazeera asked one Libyan rebel today celebrating was he now going to hand back his gun and go back to his job now Gaddaffi is gone and he said no! we would keep his gun and was now a warrior ! he was not going to hand back any gun.
To the shock of the AJ reporter

The Libyan story is just beginning believe me.

 

@ Nosferax: Don't get me laughing. With Guantanamo the West (or rather Western governments) has clearly shown what it thinks of Human rights. I find your cynicism horrendous but you might as well go all the way through with it.

@ Abu: you're right. And I sincerely hope the Egyptians get a good job done with putting Mubarak on trial like a civilized nation should do.
Clearly something seems to have gone terribly wrong in the capturing of Gaddafi. But maybe we shouldn't cast judgements before we have more information.
And the thing we should remember: the French Revolution wasn't done in a day either. So maybe we shouldn't expect the Arab revolutions to work miracles in a day. I hope you guys keep it going, focussing on the sound values you have mentioned.
